Re: Live ISO Problem with filesystem

[Pablo Brasero Moreno <pablo@pablobm.com>]

Not sure if this is the same thing you are asking as I haven't done this in a while, but I think I used to include files in the final image by copying them in during the build. See an example at https://github.com/pablobm/w2c3-livecd/pull/6/files. In the file `config/hooks/1010-copy-downloads.hook.chroot` I copy a pre-downloaded file to the desired destination in the image.

If I'm not mixing things up, this is as per section 9.2 in the manual: https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html/live-manual/customizing-contents.en.html

Hello everyone!

I'm using live-build on Debian bullseye and was wondering if I can copy or even include larger files in the live system's overlay fs before it boots, so that they are writable?

My solution:

• add the files to includes.chroot
  
• create boot-time hook in /etc/lib/live that copies the files into userspace upon boot

This works but takes time. Is there a way I can instantly have files already placed in the overlay fs at boot and thus be writable? (Without persistence)

Kind regards
