=== Live CD development === A Debian Jr. livecd can be built using live-helper with the following steps: <pre> svn co svn://svn.debian.org/debian-live/dists/trunk/live-helper ( cd live-helper ; debuild -us -uc ) sudo dpkg -i live-helper*.deb svn co svn://svn.debian.org/debian-live/configs/junior sudo make-live --root junior &>make-live.log </pre> Currently the junior config in svn is for a usb key using gnome. You can change this by editing the appropriate variables in junior/config. Other possible values for LIVE_PACKAGES_LIST are "kde-junior" or "xfce-junior", and LIVE_BINARY_IMAGE can be changed to "iso" to generate a CD image. |

* probably the simplest way to do this is to have your X system launch straight into a [http://gcompris.net gcompris session]. *use .xinitrc with a single command: gcompris in it, or * configure your ["Desktop environment"] with a DebianJrSpecialSession for that small user * gcompris has a number of command line options and configurations to make it use the full screen quite well for this scenario (! provide examples!). |
