Searching for a way to rebuild Debian live images



First of all, I have several problems with pre-built Debian live images.

1) They refuse to boot from NTFS removable HDD the same way, Debian 9.9, Ubuntu and Mint boot. Following error appears:

https://i3.imageban.ru/out/2019/08/28/b926b086915a1ed03880dcfa7ec5a8ef.jpg

But they boot exactly the same way from FAT32 flash drive. This suggests, that Debian 10 live images have the same problem, as AltLinux live images - NTFS kernel modules missing in initrd. I clearly understand, that nobody needs them to be there. But I need and I want to rebuild live images to add them.

2) Non-PAE kernel is used as default for 32bit images. Yeah, it has better compatibility with older CPUs, but PAE kernels not only provide access to >4Gb memory, but also provide extra 500Mb of memory in case of <=4Gb memory via freeing some IO address space, I guess. And this is big deal for me.

3) I want non-free firmware to be pre-installed, as it's done in Ubuntu and Mint, as I have AMD Radeon video.

4) I also need some packages to be pre-installed, so I wouldn't need to install them every time.


So, here is my problem. Wiki page and manual still refer to https://salsa.debian.org/live-team GIT repository as source of pre-built live image configurations. But it seems to be obsoleted, i.e. I can't manage to build Debian 10 live images via it. And I also have some info from Internet, that this project it dead. Can you help me, please? Where can I get tools and pre-built image configurations for Debian 10?
