+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBlh config\fP is a high\-level command (porcelain) of \fIlive\-helper\fP(7), the
+Debian Live tool suite.
+.PP
+.\" FIXME
+\fBlh config\fP populates the configuration directory for live\-helper. By
+default, this directory is named 'config' and is created in the current
+directory where \fBlh config\fP was executed.
+.PP
+.\" FIXME
+Note: Currently \fBlh config\fP tries to be smart and sets defaults for some
+options depending on the setting of other options (e.g. which linux packages
+to be used depending on if a lenny system gets build or not). This means
+that when generating a new configuration, you should call \fBlh config\fP only
+once with all options specified. Calling it several times with only a subset
+of the options each can result in non working configurations. This is also
+caused by the fact that \fBlh config\fP called with one option only changes
+that option, and leaves everything else as is unless its not
+defined. However, \fBlh config\fP does warn about know impossible or likely
+impossible combinations that would lead to non working live systems. If
+unsure, remove config/{binary,bootstrap,chroot,common,source} and call \fBlh
+config\fP again.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+In addition to its specific options \fBlh config\fP understands all generic
+live\-helper options. See \fIlive\-helper\fP(7) for a complete list of all
+generic live\-helper options.
+.PP
+.\" FIXME
+.IP "\fB\-\-apt\fP apt|aptitude" 4
+defines if apt\-get or aptitude is used to install packages when building the
+image. When building etch images, this defaults to aptitude. Every other
+distribution defaults to apt.
+.IP "\fB\-\-apt\-ftp\-proxy\fP \fIURL\fP" 4
+sets the ftp proxy to be used by apt. By default, this is empty but if the
+host has the environment variable ftp_proxy set, apt\-ftp\-proxy gets
+automatically set to the value of ftp_proxy.
+.IP "\fB\-\-apt\-http\-proxy\fP \fIURL\fP" 4
+sets the http proxy to be used by apt. By default, this is empty but if the
+host has the environment variable http_proxy set, apt\-http\-proxy gets
+automatically set to the value of http_proxy.
+.IP "\fB\-\-apt\-pdiffs\fP true|false" 4
+defines whetever apt should use incremental package indices feature or
+not. This is true by default.
+.IP "\fB\-\-apt\-options\fP \fIOPTION\fP|\(dq\fIOPTIONS\fP\(dq" 4
+defines the default options that will be appended to every apt call that is
+made inside chroot during the building of the image. By default, this is set
+to \-\-yes to allow non\-interactive installation of packages.
+.IP "\fB\-\-aptitude\-options\fP \fIOPTION\fP|\(dq\fIOPTIONS\fP\(dq" 4
+defines the default options that will be appended to every aptitude call
+that is made inside chroot during building of the image. By default, this is
+set to \-\-assume\-yes to allow non\-interactive installation of packages.
+.IP "\fB\-\-apt\-pipeline\fP \fIDEPTH\fP" 4
+sets the depth of the apt/aptitude pipeline. In cases where the remote
+server is not RFC conforming or buggy (such as Squid 2.0.2) this option can
+be a value from 0 to 5 indicating how many outstanding requests APT should
+send. A value of zero MUST be specified if the remote host does not properly
+linger on TCP connections \- otherwise data corruption will occur. Hosts
+which require this are in violation of RFC 2068. By default, live\-helper
+does not set this option.
+.IP "\fB\-\-apt\-recommends\fP true|false" 4
+defines if apt should install recommended packages automatically. By
+default, this is true except in emdebian mode.
+.IP "\fB\-\-apt\-secure\fP true|false" 4
+defines if apt should check repository signatures. This is true by default.
+.IP "\-a|\fB\-\-architecture\fP \fIARCHITECTURE\fP" 4
+defines the architecture of the to be build image. By default, this is set
+to the host architecture. Note that you cannot crossbuild for another
+architecture if your host system is not able to execute binaries for the
+target architecture natively. For example, building amd64 images on i386 and
+vice versa is possile if you have a 64bit capable i386 processor and the
+right kernel. But building powerpc images on an i386 system is not possible.
+.IP "\-b|\fB\-\-binary\-images\fP iso|iso\-hybrid|net|tar|usb\-hdd" 4
+defines the image type to build. By default this is set to iso to build
+CD/DVD images, for squeeze and newer it defaults to iso\-hybrid.
+.IP "\fB\-\-binary\-filesystem\fP fat16|fat32|ext2" 4
+defines the filesystem to be used in the image type. This only has an effect
+if the selected binary image type does allow to choose a filesystem. For
+example, when selection iso the resulting CD/DVD has always the filesystem
+ISO9660. When building usb\-hdd images for usb sticks, this is active. Note
+that it defaults to fat16 on all architectures except sparc where it
+defaults to ext2. Also note that if you choose fat16 and your resulting
+binary image gets bigger than 2GB, the binary filesystem automatically gets
+switched to fat32.
+.IP "\fB\-\-binary\-indices\fP true|false|none" 4
+defines if the resulting images should have binary indices or not and
+defaults to true. If set to none, no indices are included at all.
+.IP "\fB\-\-bootappend\-install\fP \fIPARAMETER\fP|\(dq\fIPARAMETERS\fP\(dq" 4
+sets boot parameters specific to debian\-installer, if included.
+.IP "\fB\-\-bootappend\-live\fP \fIPARAMETER\fP|\(dq\fIPARAMETERS\fP\(dq" 4
+sets boot parameters specific to debian\-live. A complete list of boot
+parameters can be found, for etch, in the manpage of casper, for all other
+distributions in the manpage of live\-initramfs. On the images, a list of all
+parameters (without comments) is included in the /parameters.txt.
+.IP "\fB\-\-bootloader\fP grub|syslinux|yaboot" 4
+defines which bootloader is beeing used in the generated image. This has
+only an effect if the selected binary image type does allow to choose the
+bootloader. For example, if you build a iso, always syslinux (or more
+precise, isolinux) is being used. Also note that some combinations of binary
+images types and bootloaders may be possible but live\-helper does not
+support them yet. \fBlh config\fP will fail to create such a not yet supported
+configuration and give a explanation about it. For usb\-hdd images on amd64
+and i386, the default is syslinux. yaboot is only used on powerpc.
+.IP "\fB\-\-bootstrap\fP cdebootstrap|cdebootstrap\-static|debootstrap|copy" 4
+defines which program is used to bootstrap the debian chroot, default is
+debootstrap. Note that if you set the bootstrap program to copy, then your
+host system is copied. This can be useful if you want to convert/clone your
+existing host system into a live system, however, make sure you do have
+enough free space as this can, depending on your host system, get quite big.
+.IP "\fB\-\-bootstrap\-config\fP \fIFILE\fP" 4
+sets a custom configuration file for the boostrap programm of choice and is
+empty by default. Refere to the documentation of debootstrap or cdebootstrap
+for more information about that. When the bootstrap program is set to copy,
+this has no effect.
+.IP "\-f|\fB\-\-bootstrap\-flavour\fP minimal|standard" 4
+defines if the bootstrap program should bootstrap the standard system (all
+packages of priority required and important, which is the default) or a
+minimal system (only packages of priority required, plus apt).
+.IP "\fB\-\-bootstrap\-keyring\fP \fIPACKAGE\fP" 4
+sets the archive keyring package to be used. Default is
+debian\-archive\-keyring.
+.IP "\fB\-\-cache\fP true|false" 4
+defines globally if any cache should be used at all. Different caches can be
+controled through the their own options.
+.IP "\fB\-\-cache\-indices\fP true|false" 4
+defines if downloaded package indices and lists should be cached which is
+false by default. Enabling it would allow to rebuild an image completely
+offline, however, you would not get updates anymore then.
+.IP "\fB\-\-cache\-packages\fP true|false" 4
+defines if downloaded packages files should be cached which is true by
+default. Disabling it does save space consumtion in your build directory,
+but remember that you will cause much unnecessary traffic if you do a couple
+of rebuilds. In general you should always leave it true, however, in some
+particular rare build setups, it can be faster to refetch packages from the
+local network mirror rather than to utilize the local disk.
+.IP "\fB\-\-cache\-stages\fP true|false|\fISTAGE\fP|\(dq\fISTAGES\fP\(dq" 4
+sets which stages should be cached. By default set to bootstrap. As an
+exception to the normal stage names, also rootfs can be used here which does
+only cache the generated root filesystem in
+filesystem.{dir,ext*,squashfs}. This is useful during development if you
+want to rebuild the binary stage but not regenerate the root filesystem all
+the time.
+.IP "\fB\-\-checksums\fP md5|sha1|sha256|none" 4
+defines if the binary image should contain a file called md5sums.txt,
+sha1sums.txt and/or sha256sums.txt. These lists all files on the image
+together with their checksums. This in turn can be used by live\-initramfs'
+built\-in integrity\-check to verify the medium if specified at boot
+prompt. In general, this should not be false and is an important feature of
+live system released to the public. However, during development of very big
+images it can save some time by not calculating the checksums.
+.IP "\fB\-\-chroot\-build\fP true|false" 4
+defines whetever live\-helper should use the tools from within the chroot to
+build the binary image or not by using and including the host systems
+tools. This is a very dangerous option, using the tools of the host system
+can lead to tainted and even non\-bootable images if the host systems version
+of the required tools (mainly these are the bootloaders such as syslinux,
+grub and yaboot, and the auxilliary tools such as dosfstools, genisoimage,
+squashfs\-tools and others) do not \fBexactely\fP match what is present at
+build\-time in the target distribution. Never do disable this option unless
+you are \fBexactely\fP sure what you are doing and have \fBcompletely\fP\fI
+understood its consequences.\fP
+.IP "\fB\-\-chroot\-filesystem\fP ext2|ext3|squashfs|plain|jffs2" 4
+defines which filesystem type should be used for the root filesystem
+image. If you use plain, then no filesystem image is created and the root
+filesystem content is copied on the binary image filesystem as flat
+files. Depending on what binary filesystem you have choosen, it may not be
+possible to build with a plain root filesystem, e.g. fat16/fat32 and plain
+don't work as linux does not support to run on them.
+.IP \fB\-\-clean\fP 4
+minimizes config directory by automatically removing unused and thus empty
+subdirectories.
+.IP "\-c|\fB\-\-conffile\fP \fIFILE\fP" 4
+using a user specified alternative configuration file in addition to the
+normally used one in the config directory.
+.IP "\fB\-\-debconf\-frontend\fP dialog|editor|noninteractive|readline" 4
+defines what value the debconf frontend should be set to inside the
+chroot. Note that setting it to anything by noninteractive, which is the
+default, makes your build asking questions during the build.
+.IP "\fB\-\-debconf\-nowarnings\fP true|false" 4
+defines if warnings of debconf should be displayed or not. Warnings from
+debconf are generally very rare and by default, we skipp them, if any, in
+order to keep the build process entirely non interactive.
+.IP "\fB\-\-debconf\-priority\fP low|medium|high|critical" 4
+defines what value the debconf priority shoul dbe set to inside the
+chroot. By default, it is set to critical, which means that almost no
+questions are displayed. Note that this only has an effect if you use any
+debconf frontend different from noninteractive.
+.IP "\fB\-\-debian\-installer\fP true|cdrom|netinst|netboot|businesscard|live|false" 4
+defines which type, if any, of the debian\-installer should be included in
+the resulting binary image. By default, no installer is included. All
+available flavours except live are the identical configurations used on the
+installer media produced by regular debian\-cd. When live is choosen, the
+live\-installer udeb is included so that debian\-installer will behave
+different than usual \- instead of installing the debian system from packages
+from the medium or the network, it installs the live system to the disk.
+.IP "\fB\-\-debian\-installer\-distribution\fP daily|\fICODENAME\fP" 4
+defines the distribution where the debian\-installer files should be taken
+out from. Normally, this should be set to the same distribution as the live
+system. However, some times, one wants to use a newer or even daily built
+installer.
+.IP "\fB\-\-debian\-installer\-preseedfile\fP \fIFILE\fP|\fIURL\fP" 4
+sets the filename or URL for an optionally used and included preseeding file
+for debian\-installer.
+.IP "\fB\-\-debian\-installer\-gui\fP true|false" 4
+defines if the debian\-installer graphical GTK interface should be true or
+not. In Debian mode and for most versions of Ubuntu, this option is true,
+whereas otherwise false, by default.
+.IP "\-d|\fB\-\-distribution\fP \fICODENAME\fP" 4
+defines the distribution of the resulting live system.
+.IP \-\-\fBdump\fP 4
+prepares a report of the currently present live system configuration and the
+version of live\-helper used. This is useful to provide if you submit bug
+reports, we do get all informations required for us to locate and replicate
+an error.
+.IP "\-e|\fB\-\-encryption\fP false|aes128|aes192|aes256" 4
+defines if the root filesystem should be encrypted or not. By default, this
+is false.
+.IP "\fB\-\-fdisk\fP fdisk|fdisk.dist" 4
+sets the filename of the fdisk binary from the host system that should be
+used. This is autodetected and does generally not need any customization.
+.IP "\fB\-\-grub\-splash\fP \fIFILE\fP" 4
+defines the name of an optional to be included splash screen graphic for the
+grub bootloader.
+.IP "\fB\-\-gzip\-options\fP \fIOPTION\fP|\(dq\fIOPTIONS\fP\(dq" 4
+defines the default options that will be appended to (almost) every gzip
+call during the building of the image. By default, this is set to \-\-best to
+use highest (but slowest) compression. Dynamically, if the host system
+supports it, also \-\-rsyncable is added.
+.IP "\fB\-\-hooks\fP \fIFILE\fP" 4
+defines which hooks available in /usr/share/live\-helper/examples/hooks
+should be activated. Normally, there are no hooks executed. Make sure you
+know and understood the hook before you enable it.
+.IP "\fB\-\-hostname\fP \fINAME\fP" 4
+sets the hostname of the live system.
+.IP \fB\-\-ignore\-system\-defaults\fP 4
+\fBlh config\fP by default reads system defaults from /etc/default/live\-helper
+when generating a new live system config directory. This is useful if you
+want to set global settings, such as mirror locations, and don't want to
+specify them all of the time.
+.IP "\fB\-\-includes\fP \fIPATH\fP" 4
+sets the path to the includes that live\-helper is going to use,
+e.g. additional minimal documentation that you want to have on all live
+systems. By default, this is set to /usr/share/live\-helper/includes/.
+.IP "\fB\-\-initramfs\fP auto|live\-initramfs|casper" 4
+sets the name of package that contains the live system specific initramfs
+modification. By default, auto is used, which means that at build time of
+the image rather than on configuration time, the value will be expanded to
+casper when building etch systems and to live\-initramfs for all other
+systems.
+.IP "\fB\-\-interactive\fP shell" 4
+defines if after the chroot stage and before the beginning of the binary
+stage, a interactive shell login should be spawned in the chroot in order to
+allow you to do manual customizations. Once you close the shell with logout
+or exit, the build will continue as usual. Note that it's strongly
+discouraged to use this for anything else than testing. Modifications that
+should be present in all builds of a live system should be properly made
+through hooks. Everything else destroys the beauty of being able to
+completely automatise the build process and making it non interactive. By
+default, this is of course false.
+.IP "\fB\-\-iso\-application\fP \fINAME\fP" 4
+sets the APPLICATION field in the header of a resulting CD/DVD image and
+defaults to "Debian Live" in debian mode, and to "Emdebian Live" in emdebian
+mode, and "Ubuntu Live" in ubuntu mode.
+.IP "\fB\-\-iso\-preparer\fP \fINAME\fP" 4
+sets the PREPARER field in the header of a resulting CD/DVD image. By
+default this is set to "live\-helper \fIVERSION\fP;
+http://packages.qa.debian.org/live\-helper", whereas VERSION is expanded to
+the version of live\-helper that was used to build the image.
+.IP "\fB\-\-iso\-publisher\fP \fINAME\fP" 4
+sets the PUBLISHED field in the header of a resulting CD/DVD image. By
+default, this is set to 'Debian Live project; http:/live.debian.net/;
+debian\-live@lists.debian.org'. Remember to change this to the appropriate
+values at latest when you distributing custom and unofficial images.
+.IP "\fB\-\-iso\-volume\fP \fINAME\fP" 4
+sets the VOLUME field in the header of a resulting CD/DVD and defaults to
+\&'(\fIMODE\fP) (\fIDISTRIBUTION\fP) (\fIDATE\fP)' whereas MODE is expanded to the name
+of the mode in use, DISTRIBUTION the distribution name, and DATE with the
+current date and time of the generation. When running in debian\-release mode
+however, it will instead default to 'Debian (\fIVERSION\fP) (\fIARCHITECTURE\fP)
+live' where VERSION becomes the numerical version of the release being built
+and ARCHITECTURE becomes the name of the architecture.
+.IP "\fB\-\-jffs2\-eraseblock\fP \fISIZE\fP" 4
+sets the eraseblock size for a JFFS2 (Second Journalling Flash File System)
+filesystem. The default is 64 KiB. If you use an erase block size different
+than the erase block size of the target MTD device, JFFS2 may not perform
+optimally. If the SIZE specified is below 4096, the units are assumed to be
+KiB.
+.IP "\fB\-\-keyring\-packages\fP \fIPACKAGE|\(dqPACKAGES\fP\(dq" 4
+sets the keyring package or additional keyring packages. By default this is
+set to debian\-archive\-keyring.
+.IP "\-l|\fB\-\-language\fP \fILANGUAGE\fP" 4
+sets the language of a live system by installing l10n related packages and
+enables generation of the correct locales through automatically setting the
+right boot parameters.
+.IP "\-k|\fB\-\-linux\-flavours\fP \fIFLAVOUR\fP|\(dq\fIFLAVOURS\fP\(dq" 4
+sets the kernel flavours to be installed. Note that in case you specify more
+than that the first will be configured the default kernel that gets booted.
+.IP "\fB\-\-linux\-packages\fP \(dq\fIPACKAGES\fP\(dq" 4
+sets the internal name of the kernel packages naming scheme. If you use
+debian kernel packages, you will not have to adjust it. If you decide to use
+custom kernel packages that do not follow the debian naming scheme, remember
+to set this option to the stub of the packages only (for debian this is
+linux\-image\-2.6), so that \fISTUB\fP\-\fIFLAVOUR\fP results in a valid package name
+(for debian e.g. linux\-image\-2.6\-486). Preferably you use the meta package
+name, if any, for the stub, so that your configuration is ABI
+independent. Also don't forget that you have to include stubs of the binary
+modules packages for unionfs or aufs, and squashfs if you built them
+out\-of\-tree.
+.IP "\fB\-\-losetup\fP losetup|losetup.orig" 4
+sets the filename of the losetup binary from the host system that should be
+used. This is autodetected and does generally not need any customization.
+.IP "\fB\-\-memtest\fP memtest86+|memtest86|none" 4
+defines if memtest, memtest86+ or no memory tester at all should be included
+as secondary bootloader configuration. This is only available on amd64 and
+i386 and defaults to memtest86+.
+.IP "\-m|\fB\-\-mirror\-bootstrap\fP \fIURL\fP" 4
+sets the location of the debian package mirror that should be used to
+bootstrap from.
+.IP "\fB\-\-mirror\-binary\fP \fIURL\fP" 4
+sets the location of the debian package mirror that should end up configured
+in the final image and which is the one a user would see and use. This has
+not necessarily to be the same that is used to build the image, e.g. if you
+use a local mirror but want to have an official mirror in the image. By
+default, the same value that is used for \-\-mirror\-chroot is used here unless
+specified different.
+.IP "\fB\-\-mirror\-binary\-security\fP \fIURL\fP" 4
+sets the location of the debian security package mirror that should end up
+configuered in the final image. By default, the same value that is used for
+\-\-mirror\-chroot\-security is used here unless specified different.
+.IP "\fB\-\-mirror\-chroot\fP \fIURL\fP" 4
+sets the location of the debian package mirror that will be used to fetch
+the packages in order to build the live system. By default, this points to
+http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ which may not be a good default if you live
+outside the U.S.
+.IP "\fB\-\-mirror\-chroot\-security\fP \fIURL\fP" 4
+sets the location of the debian security package mirror that will be used to
+fetch the packages in order to build the live system. By default, this
+points to http://security.debian.org/debian/.
+.IP "\fB\-\-mirror\-debian\-installer\fP \fIURL\fP" 4
+sets the location of the mirror that will be used to fetch the debian
+installer images. By default, this points to the same mirror used to build
+the live system.
+.IP "\fB\-\-mode\fP debian|emdebian|ubuntu" 4
+defines a global mode to load project specific defaults. By default this is
+set to debian.
+.IP "\fB\-\-net\-root\-filesystem\fP nfs|cfs" 4
+defines the filesystem that will be configured in the bootloader
+configuration for your netboot image. This defaults to nfs.
+.IP "\fB\-\-net\-root\-mountoptions\fP \fIOPTIONS\fP" 4
+sets additional options for mounting the root filesystem in netboot images
+and is by default empty.
+.IP "\fB\-\-net\-root\-path\fP \fIPATH\fP" 4
+sets the file path that will be configured in the bootloader configuration
+for your netboot image. This defaults to /srv/debian\-live in debian mode and
+to /srv/emebian\-live when being in emdebian mode, and /srv/ubuntu\-live when
+in ubuntu mode.
+.IP "\fB\-\-net\-root\-server\fP \fIIP\fP|\fIHOSTNAME\fP" 4
+sets the IP or hostname that will be configured in the bootloader
+configuration for the root filesystem of your netboot image. This defaults
+to 192.168.1.1.
+.IP "\fB\-\-net\-cow\-filesystem\fP nfs|cfs" 4
+defines the filesystem type for the copy\-on\-write layer and defaults to nfs.
+.IP "\fB\-\-net\-cow\-mountoptions\fP \fIOPTIONS\fP" 4
+sets additional options for mounting the copy\-on\-write layer in netboot
+images and is by default empty.
+.IP "\fB\-\-net\-cow\-path\fP \fIPATH\fP" 4
+defines the path to client writable filesystem. Anywhere that
+\fIclient_mac_address\fP is specified in the path live\-initramfs will
+substitute the MAC address of the client delimited with hyphens.
+.PP
+.IP "" 4
+Example:
+.br
+/export/hosts/client_mac_address
+.br
+/export/hosts/00\-16\-D3\-33\-92\-E8
+.IP "\fB\-\-net\-cow\-server\fP \fIIP\fP|\fIHOSTNAME\fP" 4
+sets the IP or hostname that will be configured in the bootloader
+configuration for the copy\-on\-write filesystem of your netboot image and is
+by default empty.
+.IP "\fB\-\-net\-tarball\fP bzip2|gzip|tar|none" 4
+defines the format of the netboot image. Choosing tar results in a not
+compressed tarball, bzip2 and gzip in a bzip2 resp. gzip compressed
+tarball. Choosing none leads to no tarball at all, the plain binary
+directory is considered the output in this case. Default is gzip.
+.IP "\-p|\fB\-\-packages\-lists\fP \fILIST\fP|\(dq\fILISTS\fP\(dq" 4
+defines which lists available in /usr/share/live\-helper/lists should be
+used. By default, this is set to standard. Note that in case you have local
+packages lists, you don't need to list them here. Putting them into
+config/chroot_local\-packageslists is enough (the filename needs to have the
+\&.list suffix though).
+.IP "\fB\-\-packages\fP \fIPACKAGE\fP|\(dq\fIPACKAGES\fP\(dq" 4
+defines one or more packages to be installed in the live system. This is a
+quick and convenient place to add a few packages when building an image
+(limited by the max length of shell). Packages that should be permanently
+installed should be put into a local packages list.
+.IP "\fB\-r, \-\-repositories\fP \fIREPOSITORY\fP|\(dq\fIREPOSITORIES\fP\(dq" 4
+enables one of available third\-party repository configurations in
+/usr/share/live\-helper/repositories.
+.IP "\fB\-\-root\-command\fP sudo" 4
+controls if live\-helper should use sudo internally to build the live
+image. Note that this is not well tested and that you should, when relying
+on sudo, call the individual live\-helper command with sudo itself.
+.IP "\fB\-\-use\-fakeroot\fP true|false" 4
+controls if live\-helper should utilize fakeroot and fakechroot to try and
+avoid requiring root privillages where possible. By default, this option is
+false.
+.IP "\fB\-\-archive\-areas\fP \fIARCHIVE_AREA\fP|\(dq\fIARCHIVE_AREAS\fP\(dq" 4
+defines which package archive areas of a debian packages archive should be
+used for configured debian package mirrors. By default, this is set to
+main. Remember to check the licenses of each packages with respect to their
+redistributability in your juristiction when enabling contrib or non\-free
+with this mechanism.
+.IP "\fB\-\-security\fP true|false" 4
+defines if the security repositories specified in the security mirror
+options should be used or not.
+.IP "\fB\-\-source\fP true|false" 4
+defines if a corresponding source image to the binary image should be
+build. By default this is false because most people do not require this and
+would require to download quite a few source packages. However, once you
+start distributing your live image, you should make sure you build it with a
+source image alongside.
+.IP "\-s|\fB\-\-source\-images\fP iso|net|tar|usb\-hdd" 4
+defines the image type for the source image. Default is tar.
+.IP "\fB\-\-symlinks\fP true|false" 4
+defines if the symlink hack should be true or false. The symlink hack
+converts all absolute symlinks to relative ones. By default this is false
+and in general there is no need or gain to enable it. If you are in a
+special situation that requires this, you will know.
+.IP "\fB\-\-syslinux\-splash\fP \fIFILE\fP" 4
+defines the file of the syslinux splash graphic that should be used instead
+of the default one.
+.IP "\fB\-\-syslinux\-timeout\fP \fISECONDS\fP" 4
+defines the timeout the syslinux bootloader should wait for input from the
+user at the bootprompt prior booting the default kernel. This defaults to 0
+which means it will wait forever.
+.IP "\fB\-\-syslinux\-menu\fP true|false" 4
+defines if syslinux should be make use of the vgamenu capabilities or not.
+.IP "\fB\-\-sysvinit\fP true|false" 4
+defines if the sysvinit hack should be true or false. The sysvinit hack
+disables all non\-essential services from starting up at bootup in order to
+reduce overall boottime. By default this is false and in general there you
+don't want to enable it.
+.IP "\fB\-\-tasksel\fP aptitude|tasksel" 4
+selects which program is used to install tasks. By default, this is set to
+tasksel.
+.IP "\fB\-\-tasks\fP \fITASK\fP|\(dq\fITASKS\fP\(dq" 4
+defines one or more package tasks to be installed in the live system. This
+is a quick and convenient way to get a reasonable default selection of
+packages suitable for most users when building an image, but it results in
+quite big images. If you want to have finer grained package selections,
+local packages lists should be used instead.
+.IP "\fB\-\-templates\fP \fIPATH\fP" 4
+sets the path to the templates that live\-helper is going to use, e.g. for
+bootloaders. By default, this is set to /usr/share/live\-helper/templates/.
+.IP "\fB\-\-virtual\-root\-filesystem\fP ext3" 4
+defines what filesystem to format the root filesystem when building
+virtual\-hdd images.
+.IP "\fB\-\-virtual\-root\-size\fP MB" 4
+defines what size the virtual\-hdd image should be. Note that although the
+default is set to 10000 (= 10GB), it will not need 10GB space on your
+harddisk as the files are created as sparse files.
+.IP "\fB\-\-exposed\-root\fP true|false" 4
+defines whether to expose the root filesystem as read only and not covered
+by the union filesystem. This has useful implications for certain speciality
+setups such as LTSP. By default, this option is false.
+.IP "\fB\-\-username\fP \fINAME\fP" 4
+sets the name of the account of the default user in the live system.
+.IP "\fB\-\-win32\-loader true|false\fP" 4
+.\" FIXME
+defines if win32\-loader should be included in the binary image or not.
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.\" FIXME
+.\" FIXME
+All command line switches can also be specified through the corresponding
+environment variable. Environment variables are name LH_FOO, means,
+e.g. \-\-apt\-ftp\-proxy becomes LH_APT_FTP_PROXY. However, this generally
+should not be used.
+
+.SH FILES
+.\" FIXME
+.IP \fBauto/config\fP 4
+.IP \fB/etc/default/live\-helper\fP 4
+.\" FIXME
+An optional, global configuration file for \fBlh config\fP variables. It is
+useful to specify a few system wide defaults, like LH_MIRROR_BOOTSTRAP. This
+feature can be false by specifying the \fB\-\-ignore\-system\-defaults\fP option.
