Re: [Question] Integrating the debian installer in live-build - DVD, multi-arch, custom, etc.



Hello everybody.

Thank you very much for your tips, recommendations, attention and time.

In the next days I will try to look into everything you recommended me in this thread and test the different possibilities. Then I will try to write about my experience and send here.

If anyone knows about any other options, tools, hacks, etc. that are pertinent to this discussion, please, share it with us :)

Thank you Subhani
I will try this out today and see what happens.
May I suggest you create a github page for PakOS and put all the
materials, e.g. configs etc, that you want to share in there.
Regards.
Michael.

I have installed PakOS on offline systems and it works. For
Calamares, it
failed so I had to install some packages later on, using chroot to
enter
ISO. This made the calamares installer useable. There are a lot of
iterations, which I try to document. Since I am one person trying
to
maintain this ISO, so I can't do a lot of testing on diverse
hardware.
Recently I tested PakOS on an HP laptop, and all installers failed
to
install on blank hard disk. But once a portion was present, it
installed
correctly.
So it's a journey. I would request anyone interested in joining me
in any
capacity. I am ready to share all code, what so ever humble work I
have
done.
Thanks for your interest.

Nice.

Finally does it installer fetch the packages from the same iso or
does
the
installer need an internet connection to work (e.g. fetches the
packages
from the internet) ?


Thank you.

it installs on both. And automatically selects kernal based on

With such a setup Can you install a 64-bit Debian? Or is it only
useful
for installing 32-bit Debian?


Thank you.

I will be honored. If you need, I can share the whole project
you need
on SourceForge. Its actually just 1 switch in lb config. Since
I am
typing
on my mobile. So can't access my laptop right now. The clue was
given
on
this very forum.
In case you need any specific functionality in PakOS, please
let me
know.

If you like the work I have done and can benefit from it,
please click

I need
a
lot of votes to be part of Distro watch list of Distros.

Hi Subhani
I just had a look at Pak OS, nice project, and I have 1
question for
you that may help many others who use live build. How did you
create
an iso image with both 32 and 64 bit architectures using live
build?
If you would share your knowledge with teh live community I am
sure
many would be extremely grateful.
Regards.
Michael.

Please search for PakOS on Google, it should be 1st result.
Go to my
