If you're trying to make a live-USB, similar to a live-CD, the system will always boot into read-only. There are ways around that using a second partition for persistence. If that's what you want, you should take a look at the debian-live documentation. You could build your own live system using live-build, and create either an iso image or a usb-hdd image.
http://live.debian.net/
Another option is to use Refracta Snapshot. You could install the deb files in your virtualbox installation and create a bootable iso that's a copy of your system, with all your customizations and settings. And you could use refracta2usb to put that iso onto a bootable usb thumb drive. You'll probably need to install some dependencies, like squashfs-tools, live-boot, live-config, live-config-sysvinit, and live-boot-initramfs-tools. See comments in the config file (/etc/refractasnapshot.conf) for using a custom iso directory. (You probably want the boot menu to say "Debian" instead of "Refracta".)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta/files/tools/
If you don't want a live-media system, you could just install debian to the usb stick the way you'd install to a hard drive. Then it will boot read/write. Since the system isn't compressed into a squashfs, it'll take up more space on the stick.
Create Debian 9 (Stretch) minimal ISO similar to DebianDog

I'm not sure why you posted it here?
Obviously, Saintless and Fred have come up with several different (much better??) ways than the ways suggested in that 5 year old post than using a persistence partition or Refracta (whatever that is).

Hi All, some news and updates:
- New kernel package version available from Debian repo: 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (linux-image-4.9.0-6), upgrading can be done on a frugal install by running "upgrade-kernel"
The mklive-stretch script doesn't need to be updated for that because the kernel version number is still 4.9.0-6.
- New peasywifi package (v4.6-1), rcrsn51 changed the button "Connect" (at the dialog that appears after "Scan") to "OTC".
This means "One time connect" (wpa2 only) to be able to connect without having to make a Profile first.
(it will probably avoid some confusion there was earlier)
- New package I made for display of detailed system information: "inxi-gui", taken from antiX, original by Misko_2083, modified a little for StretchDog, Stretch-live. (see screenshot)
Install inxi-gui with synapic or apt-get (first update the packages lists; apt-get update)
After install, run from Menu > System > System Info (inxi-gui).
The "inxi" commandline script is included in /usr/local/bin, which is a perl script, so the package has perl as dependency.
EDIT: Also updated in repos the "hplip-print-scan" packages (32 and 64 bit) to version 3.18.3, thanks again rcrsn51 !

Hi Fred - simple question (I hope!? ) -
Running my (nearly perfect!) modified/remastered Xfce StretchDog, Porteus boot w/changes.dat -
I'd really like to change the shutdown script to;
1) Default shutdown without saving (with no further user input), and...
2) Shorten the timeout to something closer to 6-8 seconds.
Possible? Can you (or anybody else) point me to the script where I could play around with modifying these settings?
The idea is to shutdown from the menu, quickly, and just walk away... ending up with a "pristine", bug-free boot next time around.
Running a small savefile just for minor changes only (themes, wallpaper, etc.).
Is this doable without too much trouble?
Thanks!
Bob

Hi Bob,
Yes, it's doable rather easy, edit /usr/bin/wmreboot and /usr/bin/wmpoweroff, replace lines 23-41 with this (default is NoSave and timeout is 6 seconds):
Change --timeout=6 to whatever you like.
Don't forget to save the session after this edit
Good luck,
EDIT: BTW, it's sometime ago that I made a build choosing this minimal XFCE (I think you are using), so out of curiosity I did again and I'm very pleased with it, it's very fast and... hey!! it's full XFCE4 ! ISO size only 244MB
I'd recommended it ! "Super Duper" as @sneekylinux probably would say

I've been running Slitaz frequently these days and I like the rounded corners of the gtk2 windows.
The openbox included in Slitaz is patched, I guess, found patched openbox packages that work on Stretch, Xenial, Bionic, here:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic ... 678#p46678
Hosted these also here now (32 and 64 bit):
https://fredx181.github.io/StretchDog/N ... 3_i386.deb
https://fredx181.github.io/StretchDog/N ... _amd64.deb
Install by right-click > Install deb, or from terminal e.g.:
Edit ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml, around line 55 ,for example just under "<keepBorder>yes</keepBorder>"
So becomes:
Restart X and you should have rounded corners
It's not perfect though, depends on which openbox theme used also, some may find it ugly.
The value for <cornerRadius> 4 above can be anything, e.g. 8, but it may not look very well.

alternative http server
I will try that.rcrsn51 wrote:For aficionados of the Simple Python HTTP Server (ie. people who got tired of fighting with Samba), here are some additional tools.
In my search for a very light and simple web server (to avoid always using xampp) I ended up with
Hiawatha. It is very light.
If anyone is interested I have made a squashfs file for it.
Link is here :
hiawatha_10.6_amd64.deb_webserver_v02.squashfs (64bit): https://1fichier.com/?9u4o4w2xo9
hiawatha_10.8.3_i386.deb_webserver_v03.squashfs (NEW 32bit) : https://1fichier.com/?iazevg3ls3cqdl2mtcxh
The modifications I made are that the web folder is in /opt/lampp/htdocs ( this is the default xampp web folder)
An alternative full webserver option is xampp (which I use in all my OSes cause it's portable)
xampp link : xampp-linux-x64-7.1.7-0_170730a_ok.squashfs https://1fichier.com/?mzhw5ccyg7

Sorry if it's a silly question, It's possible to build a 64 bit version with the script?
Time ago i did it for the 32bit version, and I've been using it as my main system since then, the machine it's 64bit capable, so wanted to try the 64b to see how it goes.
Thanks.
Saludos.

Yes, but only if you run the script from a 64-bit OS, then it will automatically build a 64 bit version.Galbi wrote:It's possible to build a 64 bit version with the script?
Preferably from a Debian or Ubuntu based OS, but it's tested to work also from Puppy or Fatdog.
Running it from e.g. the "Debian-Stretch-Live Starter Kit" 64-bit from rcrsn51 will guarantee that it works.

Hi Fred!
I'm not a "coder" at all, but what I can do - and enjoy most doing - is modifying the appearance/visual aspects of the Linux desktop (my Gtk2 & 3 theming, Xfce window decorations and conky being displayed in the above screenshot). Making things more polished, "professional" looking... and functioning. The Devil's in the details! So many distribution's desktop environments have quite a lot of that "polish" capability built-in, but seemingly very little effort gets applied towards that end - so little of that capability is being used, OOTB. A significant part of the reason Linux still has so little share of the home/desktop market, IMHO, and for the life of me I can't figure out why the heck that is...
Plus... I'm just sooo danged tired of the typical, fashionable, too-bright-and-cold/eye-straining blueish and gray tones and flat, mono-chromatic look of common Gtk themes & icons, etc (really terrible stuff, functionally, when you get right down to examining these aspects!) - and I enjoy addressing those things. It's simply too much fun - and something I can actually do!
Thank you, sir!
Bob
Yep - Xfce mklive-stretch option, with some generous tweaking/remastering afterwards. That's one of the great things about Xfce - very tweakable and easy to modify to one's liking, very functional, yet still quite reasonably "lightweight". I'll post a link to the .iso here eventually - after some more minor tweaks and testing. But it's pretty darn big at the moment - about 480Mb, I think...fredx181 wrote:... is this done initially with the XFCE option from mklive-stretch ? ... Any chance that you'd share your creation?

Creating a FAQ for the " Dogs " would be an excellent idea !Maybe the Dogs should have a FAQ (similar to the Puppy FAQ), for its many users, that states that Puppy is accepted as being allowed to share its kennel - after all it is a bigger Dog if we are going to be truthful about this.
