Package: live-build Version: 4.0~alpha33-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Live-build should have support for generating a loopback.cfg file no matter which boot method one uses for the iso. Upstream doc: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg 1) What is loopback file? A loopback.cfg is basically just a grub.cfg that's designed to be used to boot a live distribution from an iso file on a filesystem rather than an actual physical CD. 2) Here you can see how it is implemented in grml: https://github.com/grml /grml-live/blob/6e8596be5dd0b1b26f25f1518e5a80ab0002cd64/grml-live 3) If I'm not mistaken a valid Debian live loopback.cfg would be something like: menuentry "Rescatux autodetect" { if cpuid -l ; then linux /live/vmlinuz1 boot=live config quiet findiso=${iso_path} initrd /live/initrd1.img else linux /live/vmlinuz2 boot=live config quiet findiso=${iso_path} initrd /live/initrd2.img fi } menuentry "Rescatux 32 bit" { linux /live/vmlinuz2 boot=live config quiet findiso=${iso_path} initrd /live/initrd2.img } menuentry "Rescatux 64 bit" { linux /live/vmlinuz1 boot=live config quiet findiso=${iso_path} initrd /live/initrd1.img } 4) You can test it thanks to: Super Grub2 Disk and its option: Boot manually. Bootable ISOs. 5) Make sure the iso is found either in /boot-isos folder or in /boot/boot-isos folder in your media. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages live-build depends on: ii debootstrap 1.0.59 ii python3 3.4.1-1 Versions of packages live-build recommends: ii cpio 2.11+dfsg-2 pn live-boot-doc <none> pn live-config-doc <none> pn live-manual-html | live-manual <none> live-build suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
