Hello,

i want to use the live cd as a recovery cd. I need the package efibootmgr. The package is not installed, but it is included in /run/live/medium/pool/... .

What's the preferred way to install the package?

I already tried dpkg, but i got dependency problems (i don't want to install all deoendencies manually).

I also tried adding the directory to sources.list, but the Release file is missing.

A internet connection doesn't exist.

try adding the disc to sources.list in the form:

deb file:///media/mountpoint distro main contrib

you can run apt-get with --allow-unauthenticated to get around authentication issues

you can also always build your own custom live disc with live-build with your choice of additional packages bundled if you wish.

Also, if you do a 'dpkg -i <package>, followed by 'apt-get -f install', it will typically install the missing dependencies correctly.

Still, building a custom disc may actually be the easiest way to go in the long run.
