# custom-debian-live-environment-scripts
Scripts for easy custom Debian live environment creation (WIP)
Based on Will Haley's article [Create a Custom Debian Live Environment (CD or USB)](https://willhaley.com/blog/custom-debian-live-environment/)
You might want to use this instead: [Xixer - Docker based tool for Debian Live install to USB](https://github.com/jnalley/xixer)
## How to use
All scripts have "--help" option describing usage and available options.
### Usage example: from zero to ISO
Assuming the scripts are in the current directory and you're using a Debian based distribution (tested on Ubuntu 16.04), you should be able to create your first ISO in N steps:
1. `# ./chrootbootstrapper.sh --install-dependencies` installs the needed packages via apt-get
2. `# ./chrootbootstrapper.sh -n rebiandemix-live -d /root/rebiandemix` creates a base Debian environment. Please use `-m` or `--mirror` to specify a mirror if you are not in the United States or if you know of a mirror closer to you. You can find the list of Debian mirrors from [here](https://www.debian.org/mirror/list).
3. Chroot to your newly-created Debian environment: `# chroot /root/rebiandemix`
4. **Inside the chroot:** Install a kernel: `# apt update && apt install linux-image-amd64` *Note: the default arch is amd64. See chrootbootstrapper.sh --help for setting a different arch.* **TODO: why isn't this automated in chrootbootstrapper.sh??**
5. **Inside the chroot:** Set a root password: `# passwd`
6. **Inside the chroot:** Now it'd be time for customization, but we don't cover that here: exit the chroot with `exit`
7. `# ./chroot2iso.sh -d /root/rebiandemix -n "Rebian Demix" -o rebiandemix.iso` will turn the chroot into an ISO. Done and done.
If you followed this far, you should now have an ISO image at `/root/rebiandemix/rebiandemix.iso`. You can test the iso without burning it to a CD with QEMU (apt install qemu): `qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom rebiandemix.iso -m 1G`. You should see something like this:
