<pre wrap="">I'm also interested in trying one of the live build tools, but haven't
had time. My build of a Debian derivative for NL3 (an EFI BIOS),
works by unpacking the ISO-9660 image, adding packages from my
archive, and then repacking the image. Slow, but I use approx,
overlayfs, tmpfs and lots of RAM; it has been slower. Also an
advantage in always starting from a known-good release image, which is
lost using live build tools.</pre>

Time flies!<br>
You just sent me back 9 years to the first time I build a Debian
derivatate that combined Sugar and XFCE. <br>
<br>
:-D<br>
<br>
It even still exists today thanks to OLPC wiki (thank you!).<br>
<br>
Check out:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/LiveCd/lang-es">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/LiveCd/lang-es</a><br>
<br>
It has Sugar 0.79 (sugar-emulator) available from the XFCE live menu
of Xubuntu.<br>
I did it with the exact same technique you describe (and surely more
limited hardware)!<br>
<br>
This morning I even tried it and it served as a reminder of how some
activities used to look originally.<br>
<br>
Finally, after a few previous attempts, I succeeded in building a
Debian SugarBlend prototype.<br>
<br>
It is very vanilla Sugar-as-packaged by Jonas except for a fix I
picked up for <a
href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=848840">Browse
#848840</a>.<br>
<br>
I've <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/SugarBlend">documented the
whole process</a> and added a download link for the first working
build. There is of course much to improve. The idea being to improve
Debian itself, rather than our blend of it, that is, to work
preferably on the upstream Debian packages and avoid non-packaged
customization.<br>
<br>
Thanks for everyone's support. Perhaps Jonas might prefer a
different route for building images.<br>
I am not attached to one solution.<br>
<br>
But it's a start!<br>
