+1~examples Examples
+
+This chapter covers example builds for specific use cases with live
+systems. If you are new to building your own live system images, we
+recommend you first look at the three tutorials in sequence, as each one
+teaches new techniques that will help you use and understand the remaining
+examples.
+
+2~using-the-examples Using the examples
+
+To use these examples you need a system to build them on that meets the
+requirements listed in {Requirements}#requirements and has live-build
+installed as described in {Installing live-build}#installing-live-build.
+
+Note that, for the sake of brevity, in these examples we do not specify a
+local mirror to use for the build. You can speed up downloads considerably
+if you use a local mirror. You may specify the options when you use #{lb
+config}#, as described in {Distribution mirrors used at build
+time}#distribution-mirrors-build-time, or for more convenience, set the
+default for your build system in #{/etc/live/build.conf}#. Simply create
+this file and in it, set the corresponding #{LB_MIRROR_*}# variables to your
+preferred mirror. All other mirrors used in the build will be defaulted from
+these values. For example:
+
+code{
+
+ LB_MIRROR_BOOTSTRAP="http://mirror/debian/"
+ LB_MIRROR_CHROOT_SECURITY="http://mirror/debian-security/"
+ LB_MIRROR_CHROOT_BACKPORTS="http://mirror/debian-backports/"
+
+}code
+
+2~tutorial-1 Tutorial 1: A default image
+
+*{Use case:}* Create a simple first image, learning the basics of live-build.
+
+In this tutorial, we will build a default ISO hybrid live system image
+containing only base packages (no Xorg) and some live system support
+packages, as a first exercise in using live-build.
+
+You can't get much simpler than this:
+
+code{
+
+ $ mkdir tutorial1 ; cd tutorial1 ; lb config
+
+}code
+
+Examine the contents of the #{config/}# directory if you wish. You will see
+stored here a skeletal configuration, ready to customize or, in this case,
+use immediately to build a default image.
+
+Now, as superuser, build the image, saving a log as you build with #{tee}#.
+
+code{
+
+ # lb build 2>&1 | tee build.log
+
+}code
+
+Assuming all goes well, after a while, the current directory will contain
+#{live-image-i386.hybrid.iso}#. This ISO hybrid image can be booted directly
+in a virtual machine as described in {Testing an ISO image with
+Qemu}#testing-iso-with-qemu and {Testing an ISO image with
+VirtualBox}#testing-iso-with-virtualbox, or else imaged onto optical media
+or a USB flash device as described in {Burning an ISO image to a physical
+medium}#burning-iso-image and {Copying an ISO hybrid image to a USB
+stick}#copying-iso-hybrid-to-usb, respectively.
+
+2~tutorial-2 Tutorial 2: A web browser utility
+
+*{Use case:}* Create a web browser utility image, learning how to apply customizations.
+
+In this tutorial, we will create an image suitable for use as a web browser
+utility, serving as an introduction to customizing live system images.
+
+code{
+
+ $ mkdir tutorial2
+ $ cd tutorial2
+ $ lb config
+ $ echo "task-lxde-desktop iceweasel" >> config/package-lists/my.list.chroot
+
+}code
+
+Our choice of LXDE for this example reflects our desire to provide a minimal
+desktop environment, since the focus of the image is the single use we have
+in mind, the web browser. We could go even further and provide a default
+configuration for the web browser in
+#{config/includes.chroot/etc/iceweasel/profile/}#, or additional support
+packages for viewing various kinds of web content, but we leave this as an
+exercise for the reader.
+
+Build the image, again as superuser, keeping a log as in {Tutorial
+1}#tutorial-1:
+
+code{
+
+ # lb build 2>&1 | tee build.log
+
+}code
+
+Again, verify the image is OK and test, as in {Tutorial 1}#tutorial-1.
+
+2~tutorial-3 Tutorial 3: A personalized image
+
+*{Use case:}* Create a project to build a personalized image, containing your favourite software to take with you on a USB stick wherever you go, and evolving in successive revisions as your needs and preferences change.
+
+Since we will be changing our personalized image over a number of revisions,
+and we want to track those changes, trying things experimentally and
+possibly reverting them if things don't work out, we will keep our
+configuration in the popular #{git}# version control system. We will also
+use the best practice of autoconfiguration via #{auto}# scripts as described
+in {Managing a configuration}#managing-a-configuration.
+
+3~ First revision
+
+code{
+
+ $ mkdir -p tutorial3/auto
+ $ cp /usr/share/doc/live-build/examples/auto/* tutorial3/auto/
+ $ cd tutorial3
+
+}code
+
+Edit #{auto/config}# to read as follows:
+
+code{
+
+ #!/bin/sh
+
+ lb config noauto \
+     --architectures i386 \
+     --linux-flavours 686-pae \
+     "${@}"
+
+}code
+
+Perform #{lb config}# to generate the config tree, using the #{auto/config}#
+script you just created:
+
+code{
+
+ $ lb config
+
+}code
+
+Now populate your local package list:
+
+code{
+
+ $ echo "task-lxde-desktop iceweasel xchat" >> config/package-lists/my.list.chroot
+
+}code
+
+First, #{--architectures i386}# ensures that on our #{amd64}# build system,
+we build a 32-bit version suitable for use on most machines. Second, we use
+#{--linux-flavours 686-pae}# because we don't anticipate using this image on
+much older systems. Third, we have chosen the /{lxde}/ task metapackage to
+give us a minimal desktop. And finally, we have added two initial favourite
+packages: /{iceweasel}/ and /{xchat}/.
+
+Now, build the image:
+
+code{
+
+ # lb build
+
+}code
+
+Note that unlike in the first two tutorials, we no longer have to type
+#{2>&1 | tee build.log}# as that is now included in #{auto/build}#.
+
+Once you've tested the image (as in {Tutorial 1}#tutorial-1) and are
+satisfied it works, it's time to initialize our #{git}# repository, adding
+only the auto scripts we just created, and then make the first commit:
+
+code{
+
+ $ git init
+ $ cp /usr/share/doc/live-build/examples/gitignore .gitignore
+ $ git add .
+ $ git commit -m "Initial import."
+
+}code
+
+3~ Second revision
+
+In this revision, we're going to clean up from the first build, add the
+/{vlc}/ package to our configuration, rebuild, test and commit.
+
+The #{lb clean}# command will clean up all generated files from the previous
+build except for the cache, which saves having to re-download packages. This
+ensures that the subsequent #{lb build}# will re-run all stages to
+regenerate the files from our new configuration.
+
+code{
+
+ # lb clean
+
+}code
+
+Now append the /{vlc}/ package to our local package list in
+#{config/package-lists/my.list.chroot}#:
+
+code{
+
+ $ echo vlc >> config/package-lists/my.list.chroot
+
+}code
+
+Build again:
+
+code{
+
+# lb build
+
+}code
+
+Test, and when you're satisfied, commit the next revision:
+
+code{
+
+ $ git commit -a -m "Adding vlc media player."
+
+}code
+
+Of course, more complicated changes to the configuration are possible,
+perhaps adding files in subdirectories of #{config/}#. When you commit new
+revisions, just take care not to hand edit or commit the top-level files in
+#{config}# containing #{LB_*}# variables, as these are build products, too,
+and are always cleaned up by #{lb clean}# and re-created with #{lb config}#
+via their respective #{auto}# scripts.
+
+We've come to the end of our tutorial series. While many more kinds of
+customization are possible, even just using the few features explored in
+these simple examples, an almost infinite variety of different images can be
+created. The remaining examples in this section cover several other use
+cases drawn from the collected experiences of users of live systems.
+
+2~ A VNC Kiosk Client
+
+*{Use case:}* Create an image with live-build to boot directly to a VNC server.
+
+Make a build directory and create an skeletal configuration inside it,
+disabling recommends to make a minimal system. And then create two initial
+package lists: the first one generated with a script provided by live-build
+named #{Packages}# (see {Generated package lists}#generated-package-lists),
+and the second one including /{xorg}/, /{gdm3}/, /{metacity}/ and
+/{xvnc4viewer}/.
+
+code{
+
+ $ mkdir vnc-kiosk-client
+ $ cd vnc-kiosk-client
+ $ lb config -a i386 -k 686-pae --apt-recommends false
+ $ echo '! Packages Priority standard' > config/package-lists/standard.list.chroot
+ $ echo "xorg gdm3 metacity xvnc4viewer" > config/package-lists/my.list.chroot
+
+}code
+
+As explained in {Tweaking APT to save space}#tweaking-apt-to-save-space you
+may need to re-add some recommended packages to make your image work
+properly.
+
+An easy way to list recommends is using /{apt-cache}/. For example:
+
+code{
+
+ $ apt-cache depends live-config live-boot
+
+}code
+
+In this example we found out that we had to re-include several packages
+recommended by live-config and live-boot: #{user-setup}# to make autologin
+work and #{sudo}# as an essential program to shutdown the system. Besides,
+it could be handy to add #{live-tools}# to be able to copy the image to RAM
+and #{eject}# to eventually eject the live medium. So:
+
+code{
+
+ $ echo "live-tools user-setup sudo eject" > config/package-lists/recommends.list.chroot
+
+}code
+
+After that, create the directory #{/etc/skel}# in #{config/includes.chroot}#
+and put a custom #{.xsession}# in it for the default user that will launch
+/{metacity}/ and start /{xvncviewer}/, connecting to port #{5901}# on a
+server at #{192.168.1.2}#:
+
+code{
+
+ $ mkdir -p config/includes.chroot/etc/skel
+ $ cat > config/includes.chroot/etc/skel/.xsession << EOF
+ #!/bin/sh
+
+ /usr/bin/metacity &
+ /usr/bin/xvncviewer 192.168.1.2:1
+
+ exit
+ EOF
+
+}code
+
+Build the image:
+
+code{
+
+ # lb build
+
+}code
+
+Enjoy.
+
+2~ A base image for a 128MB USB key
+
+*{Use case:}* Create a default image with some components removed in order to fit on a 128MB USB key with a little space left over to use as you see fit.
+
+When optimizing an image to fit a certain media size, you need to understand
+the tradeoffs you are making between size and functionality. In this
+example, we trim only so much as to make room for additional material within
+a 128MB media size, but without doing anything to destroy the integrity of
+the packages contained within, such as the purging of locale data via the
+/{localepurge}/ package, or other such "intrusive" optimizations. Of
+particular note, we use #{--debootstrap-options}# to create a minimal system
+from scratch.
+
+code{
+
+ $ lb config --apt-indices false --apt-recommends false --debootstrap-options "--variant=minbase" --firmware-chroot false --memtest none
+
+}code
+
+To make the image work properly, we must re-add, at least, two recommended
+packages which are left out by the #{--apt-recommends false}# option. See
+{Tweaking APT to save space}#tweaking-apt-to-save-space
+
+code{
+
+ $ echo "user-setup sudo" > config/package-lists/recommends.list.chroot
+
+}code
+
+Now, build the image in the usual way:
+
+code{
+
+ # lb build 2>&1 | tee build.log
+
+}code
+
+On the author's system at the time of writing this, the above configuration
+produced a 110MB image. This compares favourably with the 192MB image
+produced by the default configuration in {Tutorial 1}#tutorial-1.
+
+Leaving off APT's indices with #{--apt-indices false}# saves a fair amount
+of space, the tradeoff being that you need to do an #{apt-get update}#
+before using /{apt}/ in the live system. Dropping recommended packages with
+#{--apt-recommends false}# saves some additional space, at the expense of
+omitting some packages you might otherwise expect to be
+there. #{--debootstrap-options "--variant=minbase"}# bootstraps a minimal
+system from the start. Not automatically including firmware packages with
+#{--firmware-chroot false}# saves some space too. And finally, #{--memtest
+none}# prevents the installation of a memory tester.
+
+*{Note:}* A minimal system can also be achieved using hooks, like for example the #{stripped.hook.chroot}# hook found in #{/usr/share/doc/live-build/examples/hooks}#. It may shave off additional small amounts of space and produce an image of 91MB. However, it does so by removal of documentation and other files from packages installed on the system. This violates the integrity of those packages and that, as the comment header warns, may have unforeseen consequences. That is why using a minimal /{debootstrap}/ is the recommended way of achieving this goal.
+
+2~ A localized GNOME desktop and installer
+
+*{Use case:}* Create a GNOME desktop image, localized for Switzerland and including an installer.
+
+We want to make an iso-hybrid image for i386 architecture using our
+preferred desktop, in this case GNOME, containing all of the same packages
+that would be installed by the standard Debian installer for GNOME.
+
+Our initial problem is the discovery of the names of the appropriate
+language tasks. Currently, live-build cannot help with this. While we might
+get lucky and find this by trial-and-error, there is a tool, #{grep-dctrl}#,
+which can be used to dig it out of the task descriptions in tasksel-data, so
+to prepare, make sure you have both of those things:
+
+code{
+
+ # apt-get install dctrl-tools tasksel-data
+
+}code
+
+Now we can search for the appropriate tasks, first with:
+
+code{
+
+ $ grep-dctrl -FTest-lang de /usr/share/tasksel/descs/debian-tasks.desc -sTask
+ Task: german
+
+}code
+
+By this command, we discover the task is called, plainly enough, german. Now
+to find the related tasks:
+
+code{
+
+ $ grep-dctrl -FEnhances german /usr/share/tasksel/descs/debian-tasks.desc -sTask
+ Task: german-desktop
+ Task: german-kde-desktop
+
+}code
+
+At boot time we will generate the *{de_CH.UTF-8}* locale and select the
+*{ch}* keyboard layout. Now let's put the pieces together. Recalling from
+{Using metapackages}#using-metapackages that task metapackages are prefixed
+#{task-}#, we just specify these language boot parameters, then add standard
+priority packages and all our discovered task metapackages to our package
+list as follows:
+
+code{
+
+ $ mkdir live-gnome-ch
+ $ cd live-gnome-ch
+ $ lb config \
+     -a i386 \
+     --bootappend-live "boot=live components locales=de_CH.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=ch" \
+     --debian-installer live
+ $ echo '! Packages Priority standard' > config/package-lists/standard.list.chroot
+ $ echo task-gnome-desktop task-german task-german-desktop >> config/package-lists/desktop.list.chroot
+ $ echo debian-installer-launcher >> config/package-lists/installer.list.chroot
+
+}code
+
+Note that we have included the /{debian-installer-launcher}/ package to
+launch the installer from the live desktop. The #{586}# kernel flavour,
+which is currently necessary for the launcher to work properly, will be
+included by default.
