Ubuntu Customization Kit

using uck under debian etch

Asked by Nicolas Ferre

Hi,

I have to use a Debian etch host machine in order to build a live cd. I would like to use uck.
Unfortunately, the uck instalation package seems to need gfxboot package which should be present on a ubuntu host machine but not on a Debian etch. I suppose that if I try to bypass this check, uck will anyway need this software in its building process...
Can you send me an advice on how to use uck on a Debian machine ?

Here is my uck installation log :

# dpkg -i uck_2.0.1_all.deb
(Reading database ... 105254 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace uck 2.0.1 (using uck_2.0.1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement uck ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of uck:
 uck depends on gfxboot; however:
  Package gfxboot is not installed.
dpkg: error processing uck (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 uck

gfxboot is needed only to change language which will be used in boot menu on built CD. Just comment out part which references gfxboot-theme-ubuntu. If you want to change language which will be used by default _after boot_, set the language manually by writing to file "livecd_locale" in customization directory.
