Problem is there are no scripts I can provide. I can provide configuration files which get created (and overwritten) by calling something like lh_config -p gnome This generates a bunch of config files. A call to lh_build will then happily use that information to create an iso image. http://live.debian.net/manual/html/live-helper.html#lh_config I created those files once and had to manually change them to tweak options that are/were not available through the command-line. The problem is that the format of those configuration files (options, syntax) change over time so it is a bit of a moving target. That is why the get recreated from the command line I could supply a starting configuration and diff and friends would need to be used in future versions of live-helper to adapt to changed configuration files. > > > In my view this is not a clean approach.
