Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Build Time
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Q: Is live-helper/make-live Debian specific?
|
|
A: live-helper supports Debian and Ubuntu right now. Adding automatic defaults
|
|
for other Debian derivatives is easy - let us know about them and we may
|
|
include it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q: How can I build images with an unprivileged user account?
|
|
A: You can use --root-command sudo or set LH_ROOT_COMMAND="sudo" in
|
|
config/common.
|
|
|
|
*BIG* *FAT* *WARNING*: Building an image as non-root can make your image
|
|
different compared to a regular Debian system (different owners of files). It
|
|
is *NOT* recommended to build images as non-root. Do *NOT* use this feature
|
|
yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q: How do I drop in to a shell during make-live chroot process?
|
|
A: Use "--interactive shell", then exit with 'logout' when you have made the
|
|
setting changes you want and the build process will continue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q: Where to set the username or the hostname?
|
|
A: casper uses default username 'casper' and hostname 'live'. You can specify
|
|
them by passing 'username=' and 'hostname=' as kernel parameters.
|
|
|
|
live-helper automatically sets the username to 'user' and the hostname to
|
|
'debian'. If you want to change this at build time, pass --username and
|
|
--hostname to make-live, or alter LIVE_USERNAME and LIVE_HOSTNAME in
|
|
config/image.

|
|
|
|
|
Q: How can I make my own grub bootsplash?
|
|
A: To add a grub splash screen, you can use --grub-splash FILE, or copy your
|
|
custom splash to config/binary_grub/splash.xpm.gz.
|
|
|
|
Documentation about creating a bootsplash for grub can be found at:
|

|
|
|
|
Q: How can I make my own syslinux bootsplash?
|
|
A: To add a syslinux splash screen, you can use --syslinux-splash FILE, or copy
|
|
your custom splash to config/binary_syslinux/splash.rle.
|
|
|
|
Documentation about creating a bootsplash for grub can be found at:
|
|
<http://www.sweb.cz/Frantisek.Rysanek/splash/isolinux-splash-HOWTO.html>
|
|
contrib/syslinux-splash/COPYING in the live-helper sources.
|
|
|
|
Basically, you need to install netpbm and syslinux, and run this:
|
|
anytopnm < $your_splash > $your_splash.pnm
|
|
pnmcolormap 15 < $your_splash.pnm > $your_splash.map
|
|
pnmremap -map=$your_splash.map $your_splash.pnm | \
|
|
ppmtolss16 '#ffffff=7' > splash.rle
