Currently, builds for the three desktop +environments GNOME[0], KDE[1] and Xfce[2] as well as the standard system are +available. Builds based on testing are created every week and the ones based on +unstable are build daily. For stable, we build update them when needed. + +Currently, the following flavours are autobuilt here (.iso for CD/DVD images, +.img for USB stick images): + + * debian-live-${DIST}-${ARCH}-standard + + only packages of priority standard or higher and a few live specific + packages (eject, file and sudo). + + * debian-live-${DIST}-${ARCH}-gnome-desktop + + the standard system, laptop related packages (laptop task) and the GNOME[1] + desktop environment (desktop and gnome-desktop tasks). + + * debian-live-${DIST}-${ARCH}-kde-desktop + + the standard system, laptop related packages (laptop task) and the KDE[2] + desktop environment (desktop and kde-desktop tasks). + + * debian-live-${DIST}-${ARCH}-xfce-desktop + + the standard system, laptop related packages (laptop task) and the Xfce[3] + desktop environment (desktop and xfce-desktop tasks). + +Note: Currently, we build images for lenny (aka "testing") and sid (aka +"unstable"). Due to the nature of unreleased Debian versions, it is possible +that no or not all images could be built because of uninstallable packages. +Please be patient then and wait for the next builds, use the previous, or do it +on your own by using live-helper. If you want something which works for sure, +use the etch (aka "stable") builds. + + [0] http://packages.debian.org/live-helper + [1] http://www.gnome.org/ + [2] http://www.kde.org/ + [3] http://www.xfce.org/ |
