Hi GUys

So I downloaded the Standard ISO live CD from here

ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian...e/i386/iso-cd/

Question: How to shutdown this live Cd and how to install on virtualbox

Does this live CD install come with many packages,How to get posix please

THanks

POSIX is a programming standard - most if not all GNU utilities are already POSIX compliant.

To shutdown your machine running the LiveCD , just type "shutdown now" at a terminal prompt, or select "Shutdown" if you are using a graphical manager.

Then when you boot back up to your normal OS, create a new VM in virtualbox, and attach its CDROM drive to the LiveCD ISO. Then you can boot the VM to the LiveCD.

I don't think you can install a debian live CD to the hard disk. But you might be able to make virtual box just "boot" the *.iso image.

Hey dd1313

I heard there working on a livecd installer
but I dont think there is a Debian one yet...

You can chroot into the decompressed filesystem.squashfs
and add/remove software

Are you familiar with xnest, squashfs-tools,etc?

sudo shutdown -h now

sudo poweroff

or reboot

Note i made some of these from debian live builds
http://linux.softpedia.com/progMoreB...isX-31789.html

I recommend 503box-chrome or xodus-live are probably most stable
all have remastersys-installer

download it when running the live. become root. run xinstallerx. you need to create the partition beforehand. its easy, but does the job (say: you don't get a swap).
same thing,more or less

iirc the first one will only be able to handle ext2, the second will use ext3.

THanks

j1alu · 01-28-2010, 04:48 PM

have you tried
sudo su
no passwd required. ?

linus72 · 01-28-2010, 04:48 PM

oh

any debian live build
the username and password are

username: user
password: live

username: root
password: no password set

to do so, open terminal
type in

sudo passwd root
or
su-to-root -X -c passwd root

change it to whatever

on my remastersys builds the username/password is usually
guest
55

root
77

which one are you downloading?
