Building on a Debian system:

Building an image from scratch is usually only necessary if you need to customise the image's packages chrome typically.

You can use the guide to persistently change boot options without building.

1. Download and install the latest live-build from the Debian Unstable repository.

2. git clone git://github.com/Webconverger/Debian-Live-config.git

3. cd Debian-Live-config/webconverger/
4. Take a long good look at auto/config
5. lb config to setup the configuration
6. sudo lb build in to kick off the build process

These steps are formalised in the daily build process's build.sh.

Next use this test guide on your freshly built image.

1. todo has a list of bugs that need to be fixed. Please help Webconverger out and you will be acknowledged for your contribution.
2. Join the Debian Live community. Peruse the debian-live mailing list archives.

Debugging mode with the built Webconverger image

Debugging in Webconverger simply involves removing noroot from the boot options. The window manager is dwm.

Customising the ISO hybrid image

Simple permanent boot customisation steps without building the ISO from scratch are the following root commands

mount -o loop webc-9.0.iso /mnt/webc/
rsync -av /mnt/webc/ /mnt/custom/
chmod +w /mnt/custom/isolinux/live.cfg

Now edit /mnt/custom/isolinux/live.cfg and change the boot command line with your homepage URL.

Now rebuild the ISO like so:

sudo genisoimage -J -l -cache-inodes -allow-multidot -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -r -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -o custom.iso /mnt/custom/

Hint: If you are an Archlinux user, genisoimage can be found in the cdrkit package.

Finally:

isohybrid custom.iso

isohybrid comes from a recent version of syslinux

The customisation service remains if you are unable to perform these commands. It's also difficult to edit the package listing, such as changing chrome without the service still. For large deployments, please enquire with sales in how we can help you.
