Topic: Compiling a Live ISO

Hi Gparted geniuses.

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I successfully compiled 0.14.1 with libparted 3.1 on my Ubuntu 12.04 x64 system (thanks to the gparted git site and this forum). smile

Now I am trying to create a LIVE CD from my system (so I would have a live Gparted CD with libparted 3.1).

I have been following the directions in: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/create-gparted-live.php, and can get to the last step where I run the "sudo create-gparted-live -bt debootstrap ......" part. 
During this step I keep getting the following error and have not been able to figure out how to get around it:
  "E: Unable to locate package linux-image-2.6-486"

I was hoping someone could guide me to some reading material or specifically what to do?
OR
I would even be more than happy to copy the current Live CD to a HD, change out whatever specific files/dirs (tar them or manually copy over) and convert back to an ISO.

Thanks for any help

Re: Compiling a Live ISO

Would anyone share what Operating Systems & version have been used to successfully build a LIVE ISO CD for GPARTED 0.14.1 ?
  Ex. Fedora 17/Opensuse 12.1/Debian 6/Ubuntu 12.04/Mint 13  .... X86 or x64?

I would like to try and install that OS, then start over from there.

Thank you so much!
smile

The GParted Live image is based on Debian Live.  See GParted Live.

Re: Compiling a Live ISO

I have updated the doc on
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/create-gparted-live.php
A full command to create GParted live 0.14.1-6 wad added.
As the description, the easiest way to create GParted live is to boot into GParted live. You can follow the above URL to make that.
