OK
so, I wanted to make a debian-live fluxbox edition from my running debian squeeze install
I installed into a 6gb partition, thinking this was enough
sad
well, each time i run
im not sure yet, its late at night:
the commmand builds the iso whereever you run it.
mount a partition (3 x the size) go there, mkdir a working directory (say: LIVE) and run the commands
(you might also clean the system up before: apt-get clean, remove kernels (if possible all of them ), aptitude purge ~c deborphan... and so on ). clean up tmp. If you know how umount swap, do that too( i dont know).
I think you should be fine if you run it on another partition.
as said: im tired...
i ran into that trouble quit often: that sucks. so much work, you wait and wait and then: no more space! arghhh.
when im awake again i will have a second thought...
greetings
edit: on cloning an install to another partition most people recommend/seem to recommend clonezilla, but its beyond me :-)
my 9th and 10th partitions are my remastering partitions
my debian I wanna remaster is on sda9
Can I delete sda10 and grow sda9 and thereby triple my hd space?
so, if I move my deb install from sda9 to wherever(temporarily)
delete sda10, grow sda9, then move my install back to now-bigger sda9
will it boot if I adjust the menu.lst and fstab, etc??

well, im not much of a partitioner and have screwed it more than once. So take the following that way.
Can you not simply boot a live-cd, run gparted, delete sda10 and grow sda9 afterwards? Thats how i would try it, as i wouldnt need to copy the whole stuff and i wouldnt need to edit menu.lst.
But its as i just said...: berserk. So better wait if someone knows for sure.
btw: all that vbox, qemu and live-helper stuff makes me spare on space too ( with 160 GB and no videos, only bit of music... i definetly need a bigger hd next month :-) )
greetings
and dont forget telling if you got it working (fluxbox allways makes me happy).
I just thought I had found the ultimate solution j1alu!
bootcd-backup and/or bootcd
ive read about bootcd (in synaptic), but no one ever mentions it.
as im not much of a man-page or docu reader...:-)
if you know how it works let me know.
greetings and, as said, good luck
