It takes a Debian mirror as an input and outputs a live system image (ISO image for CDs and DVDs, or tarball for netboot). make-live is still in the early stage of development, but has basic functionality and can be run successfully. + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BI "\-a, \-\-architecture " ARCHITECTURE +build an image for another architecture than the autodetected one. This is usefull for e.g. building i386 images on an amd64 machine. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_ARCHITECTURE can be used (Default: `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH`). +.TP +.BI "\-b, \-\-bootappend " KERNEL_PARAMETER \||\| \|"KERNEL_PARAMETERS\|" +passes kernel parameters to the bootloader, e.g. 'quiet' or 'vga=792' etc. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_BOOTAPPEND can be used (Default: empty). +.TP +.BI "\-\-config " FILE +uses another configuration file in addition to the default one. Settings in the additional configuration file do overwrite the settings from /etc/make-live.conf. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_CONFIG can be used (Default: /etc/make-live.conf). +.TP +.BI "\-c, \-\-chroot " DIRECTORY +specifies the chroot directory. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_CHROOT (Default: $LIVE_ROOT/chroot"). +.TP +.BI "\-d, \-\-distribution " DISTRIBUTION +specifies the distribution to be used. Allowed values are distributions names like unstable and testing, or codenames like sid and etch. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_DISTRIBUTION can be used (Default: sid). +.TP +.BI "\-\-filesystem " FILESYSTEM +Specifies the filesystem for the compressed image. At the moment, ext2, plain and squashfs are supported. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_FILESYSTEM can be used (Default: squashfs for iso, plain for net). +.TP +.BI "\-f, \-\-flavour " BOOTSTRAP_FLAVOUR +specifies the bootstrap flavour. This can be either standard or minimal. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_FLAVOUR can be used (Default: standard). +.TP +.BI "\-\-hook " COMMANDS +specifies one or more commands to be executed in the chroot. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_HOOK can be used (Default: empty). +.TP +.BI "\-\-include-chroot " FILE \||\| DIRECTORY +specifies a file or a directory to be included into the chroot. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_INCLUDE_CHROOT can be used (Default: empty). +.TP +.BI "\-\-include-image " FILE \||\| DIRECTORY +specifies a file or directory which will be copied inside the image. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_INCLUDE_IMAGE can be used (Default: empty). +.TP +.BI "\-k, \-\-kernel " KERNEL_FLAVOUR +specifies the kernel image flavour. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_KERNEL can be used (Default: auto-detected). +.TP +.BI "\-m, \-\-mirror " URL +specifies the debian mirror where make-live will download the packages from. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_MIRROR can be used (Default: http://ftp.debian.org/debian). +.TP +.BI "\-\-mirror-security" URL +specifies the debian security mirror where make-live will download the packages from. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_MIRROR_SECURITY can be used (Default: http://security.debian.org/debian). +.TP +.BI "\-p, \-\-packages " PACKAGE \||\| \|"PACKAGES\|" +specifies a list of packages to install into the chroot. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_PACKAGES can be used (Default: empty). +.TP +.BI "\-\-package-list " FILE +specifies an external package list file, one package for each line. It overrides list option. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_PACKAGE_LIST can be used (Default: empty). +.TP +.BI "\-\-proxy-ftp " URL +specifies the value of ftp_proxy inside the chrooted environment. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_PROXY_FTP can be used (Default: empty). +.TP +.BI "\-\-proxy-http " URL +specifies the value of http_proxy inside the chrooted environment. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_PROXY_HTTP can be used (Default: empty). +.TP +.BI "\-r, \-\-root " DIRECTORY +specifies the root directory where the images/tarballs are built. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_ROOT can be used (Default: `pwd`/debian-live). +.TP +.BI "\-s, \-\-sections " SECTIONS +specifies the debian sections. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_SECTIONS can be used (Default: main). +.TP +.BI "\-\-server-address " HOSTNAME \||\| IP +specifies the server address you want to use for netboot. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_SERVER_ADDRESS can be used (Default: 192.168.1.1). +.TP +.BI "\-\-server-path" DIRECTORY +specifies the directory on the server, where you have unpacked the netboot image. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_SERVER_PATH can be used (Default: /srv/debian-live). +.TP +.BI "\-\-templates " DIRECTORY +specifies a templates directory to use instead of the default one. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_TEMPLATES can be used (Default: /usr/share/make-live/templates). +.TP +.BI "\-t, \-\-type " TYPE +specifies the image type to generate. Currently, only iso and net are available. Instead of this flag, the environment variable LIVE_TYPE can be used (Default: iso). +.TP +.B \-h, \-\-help +display help and exit +.TP +.B \-u, \-\-usage +show usage and exit +.TP +.B \-v, \-\-version +output version information and exit + +.SH LISTS +Every list does already include the Debian standard package selection. +.TP +.B gnome | gnome-core | gnome-full +include GNOME. +.TP +.B kde | kde-core | kde-full | kde-extra +include KDE. +.TP +.B x11 | x11-core +include X-Window-System only. +.TP +.B xfce +include Xfce. + +.SH BUGS +.B make-live +works fully on amd64 and i386, partially on alpha, hppa, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
