trick - create a live installable copy of your system
Re: trick - create a live installable copy of your system
You can 'write' to a running live system. Those changes disappear when you reboot though.
Re: trick - create a live installable copy of your system
When you say running live system you mean the target machine needs to have Debian already installed, how do I perform the write.
Second question
about creating the live USB I would like the USB to have everything on my machine in the same way the cd iso command created the cd
lh_config --bootstrap copy --debian-installer live
what would be the corresponding USB command

I think you can use that command and then use unetbootin to put the resulting iso on a stick.mike_phi wrote: ....

unetbootin is not available for Debian Lenny. There is a way around that, but i forgot (do a quick search and you should find it)
Why do i say: " i think" ?
I just tested it with my self-made live-CD, which is a copy of an installation. But i don't use "lh config --bootstrap copy --debian-installer live" anymore, but the remixer-tool from refracta (because it is more easy). It does pretty much the same.
I think it should work with the command you mentioned too, but wouldn't bet on it.
It took me about 2 minutes to put the already existing live-iso on the stick. Nice and easy.
There is also a live-helper command to create a stick-iso. I don't know if it works with live-helper/bootstrap/copy too. Not sure why it shouldn't.
Short version:
Try unetbootin.

Re: trick - create a live installable copy of your system
Hi there thanks for the tips.
according to the live manual the live usb is built with
lh config -b usb-hdd
now the cd was built with
lh_config --bootstrap copy --debian-installer live (need a equivelent usb command)
which produced a great dvd of my system including my home directory and all configuration files, my question is what is the corresponding USB command to creat the same image (i.e. all home directory and configuration files) for usb as i have on dvd.

Re: trick - create a live installable copy of your system
just a guess
lh_config --bootstrap copy --debian-installer live -b usb-hdd
or depending on which version of live-helper you are using
lh config --bootstrap copy --debian-installer live -b usb-hdd
lh_config --bootstrap copy --debian-installer live -b usb-hdd
or depending on which version of live-helper you are using
lh config --bootstrap copy --debian-installer live -b usb-hdd
