Bug#849827: live-build fails to build amd64 target

["Peter.Stein" <peter.stein@comcast.net>]

I eventually figured out by trial and error how to get the iso to build. Not because of the documentation, but in spite of it. The resulting iso won't boot via GRUB2, but that's a GRUB issue not a live-build issue. HOWTOs are commonplace in the linux world. That's an obvious way to improve the body of documentation for live-build.

No. You use package lists instead.

Read the section on using package lists. If you don't understand something there, ask here, making reference to the part of the manual you don't understand so we can improve it.
