[Debian Wiki]

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Debian Wiki" for change notification.

The "DebianMed/LiveCD" page has been changed by SteffenMoeller:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed/LiveCD

New page:
Well, the term "LiveCD" is somewhat historic. But we all know that we basically mean a
= Preinstalled portable Debian Med software stack =

The motivation for this effort is to bring the packages offered in Debian even more closely towards a direct usability. This may be via your USB stick, a local/remote virtual image or just a better collaboration via a completely homogeneous infrastructure.


This page was put up to discuss pros and cons for various ways to prepare such a LiveCD. Points for discussion are
 * selection of packages
  * the adaptation of those selection for the various media
  * the influence that this selection may have on the description of tasks in Debian Med
 * extra efforts that may be beyond main Debian
  * integration of public data
  * integration of educational material
 * most suitable tool to prepare the LiveCD
 * who does what, what folks external to the core of Debian can we get involved


== Preparation ==

There shall be two tools proposed
 * live-helper
 * vmbuilder

=== Protocol for Live Helper ===

Live Helper, see [[DebianLive]] for details, was prepared for preparing the LiveCD in a multi-stage manner. One does a configuration first, a script 'lh_config' prepares a good (and for us now until we want images and other bits added at various places sufficient) template for that. A second step will involve the actual compilation of the thus specified infrastructure.
