.TH MAKE-LIVE.CONF 5 "Mon,  4 Sep 2006" "0.99" "Debian Live framework"

.SH NAME
make-live.conf \- configuration file for make-live(8)

.SH DESCRIPTION
make-live is a utility to build Debian Live systems. It takes a Debian mirror as an input and outputs a live system image (ISO image for CDs and DVDs, or tarball for netboot). make-live is still in the early stage of development, but has basic functionality and can be run successfully.

.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B LIVE_ARCHITECTURE

.TP
.B LIVE_BOOTAPPEND
specifies additional bootparameters to the kernel (Default: none).
.TP
.B LIVE_CONFIG

.SH BUGS
.B make-live
works fully on amd64 and i386, partially on alpha, hppa, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc. Other architectures, such as arm and m68k, as well as non-linux ports of Debian, like hurd-i386, are currently not supported.
