Hi guys!
Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction....?
I would like to build a Live Debian Xfce USB with zfs support included...
How do I go about this?
Thanks!

Re: Build Own Debian Live USB
This can explain why it's not included:

Have you tried the Live cd with non-free?
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unof ... -firmware/
If still cannot, can you connect to internet during install time? If so, it is possible to install the zfs support on the run, after a live boot.

Hi Capitain_Jack
Yes, I know it isn't included yet...
Yes, I know I can install it on the fly...have done so and works.....just don't want to have to do it that way...
But.... I want a live version with it included and wanted to know how to build a livecd with it included...
But...thank you for the links...good info!

Re: Build Own Debian Live USB
I guess than you'll have to try a direct derivation from Debian that allows you to make it. Give SparkyLinux a try, they have a tool to make a "backup" of your currently installed package selection as an installer.bookie wrote:Hi Capitain_Jack

Please, if you consider your issue solved, edit the first message title and add [SOLVED] to the beginning of it, so others may benefit from your solution.
I am the one thankful, as helping others we make free linux stronger, go and spread the felling.

Re: Build Own Debian Live USB
Sorry....thought I'd add some more questions to this thread...
If I install Debian to a USB and are likely to plug this USB into different hardware - then what do I do about graphics drivers?
One doesn't want to have problems booting to the USB because one has installed hardware specific drivers for a specific computer...
As standard Debian 9 comes with the nouveau drivers as standard....
Is it possible to create an xorg-conf with several resolutions and then the best can be used depending on what screen one is using.....?
On the computer I am installing the USB with Debian 9 there is a Nvidia graphics card but I just want to stick with the standard installation but with more than "1078X768" resolution.
What would the best solution be? And how would I achieve that?
Thanks!

Re: Build Own Debian Live USB
Hi,
1.you can do an ordinary debian installation on a test computer,
2. then add zfs support, customize things, but do not install non-free graphics yet (but you can download them to /var/apt/cache with apt -d)
3. create a backup with systemback
4. convert it to .iso which can be written to USB
5 when installing on other computers, you can install non-free graphics driver afterwards
Regards Pb
