Hibbian LiveCD Generator

This requires the Debian live-build toolset to generate an image.

If you have that installed, it should simply be a case of

git clone
cd hibbian-livedisk
lb config
sudo lb build

What does this give me?

Packages

Debian live stable configured with backports, the 'hibbian' repo and an LXDE desktop. It has every debian hamradio package (apart from svxlink, as that seizes audio and ruins things) and linbpq currently installed.

It pulls the newest package either from the Debian repo or hibbian repo.

Persistence

Persistence is enabled because I think it's the coolest thing. If you have an ext4 partition on any drive attached to the PC labelled 'persistence', you can ensure the system will use it to store data like updates, config files etc.

It allows you to update the core system at a later date and start/stop the computer without losing data between restarts.

Caveat Emptor

There are some caveats:

Cache

I run apt-cacher-ng on my system to keep packages required close. Instead of defining it here, I have a central config file for live-build that ensures I always do it. You may wish to do the same, it saves time.

Beta

This is testing and I might migrate to KDE someday soon.

That's it so far. More will appear no doubt.
