Stage 03 - Debian Jr. Live-CD
Goal
Build a Debian Jr. Live-CD. Let people use Debian Jr. as easy as possible.
Description
I would like to have a Debian Jr. Live-CD and include the Debian Jr. into the Debian Installer. This stage depends on Stage 02. Also see #825185 [3]
The Live System Image should work. I do have a Problem with the settings / setup for Persistence: see https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2022/08/msg00009.html I did find time to follow it up, yet.
The Debian Junior live system can be found on salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/debian-jr-team/debian-junior-live-system

Task 01 |
Configuration files for IceMW |
|
Task 02 |
Icons for Toolbar |
|
Task 03 |
Group applications in Toolbar |
|
Task 04 |
Clean-up main menu |
|
Task 05 |
Create an own package for the desktop env |
|
Debian Junior will use IceWM as Window Manager. The toolbar has four icons to open a list of games and applications. I'm still not sure how games / applications should be grouped. As icons I used different colors. The main menu is still to complex. The applications are split into to many different folders. Currently, the "desktop" is part of the Debian Junior Live System. I think it would be good to provide an own packages to put all desktop files into this package.
Stage 05 - Raspi400
Goal
Build a Debian Jr. for Raspi400.
Description
The Raspberry Pi 400 is a computer build into a keyboard.
- Raspberry Pi 400 specification
- Broadcom BCM2711 quad-core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.8GHz
- 4GB LPDDR4-3200
It would be very nice, if we can provide an image of Debian Junior for the Raspberry Pi 400.

Customizing your own build: https://salsa.debian.org/raspi-team/image-specs
When I try to run the image file via qemu:
qemu-system-arm -m 1G -machine raspi2b 20230102_raspi_2_bookworm.img
WARNING: Image format was not specified for '20230102_raspi_2_bookworm.img' and probing guessed raw.
Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
