Bug#968554: live-build: install in uefi mode without internet
Package: live-build
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
My feature request is : could we have a offline installer fore the UEFI mode
installation ?
I found that the UEFI installation process requires an internet connexion (to
install grub-efi-$arch so it seems).
It can be a problem in a few scenarios :
- When you don't have an internet connexion, so you can't install
- When the live-build image is oldish : upgrades can't be made on the
livesystem (lack of space), so grub-efi fail and the whole installation process
fails
- When installing a lot of computers in a row, even with a good internet
connexion, everything get slowed down
I'd like to know :
- if I'm asking the right place to contact upstream devs ? (I found a git, but
ticket were disabled)
- if there is a "worakround" you'd suggest to use for the time being ? (some
people found ways, but in so much step that it's very scary to get into)
Thanks again for all the great work.
