Package: debian-live-9.1.0-amd64-cinnamon+nonfree.iso
Version: 9.1.0
X-Debbugs-CC: debian...@lists.debian.org
The debian live cd boots off a usb stick created in the following way:
1. The usb stick has two partitions, one efi and one ext4
1. The efi partition has a grub2 shim that loads grub from the ext4
partition.
1. The ext4 partition has grub and the debian livecd iso
This is a strange mechanism, but it helps me load different linux
distributions with a single
unified mechanism. The isos merely go in a single folder.
Grub2 loads the debian livecd with the following entry
menuentry 'debian livecd' {
set iso='debian-live-9.1.0-amd64-cinnamon+nonfree.iso'
loopback loop $iso
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz-4.9.0-3-amd64 findiso=$iso
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.gz-4.9.0-3-amd64
}
Once the livecd loads, everything appears to work. BUT there is no way to
run
the installer at this stage. There is no `click here to install` on the
desktop.
I've tried pulling up a terminal, and apt-getting the installer. This
results in the following:
$ sudo apt install debian-installer-launcher
$ sudo debian-installer-launcher
no suitable d-i initrd image found, aborting
umount /lib/live/installer: mountpoint not found
