Bug Description

Binary package hint: livecd-rootfs

One of the goals for Edubuntu Lucid is to have LTSP on the DVD.
For now, we have a package that uses a squashfs image and start a LTSP server from the live environment, installing a few additional packages directly from the on-dvd repository.

Only missing part is to have an actual LTSP chroot on the DVD. The attached patch to livecd-rootfs should do that by creating a LTSP chroot when the Edubuntu i386 live environment is built. Please note that we want to carry a 32bit chroot in all cases (even when the DVD is amd64).

That change should make it build the .squashfs and move it to the DVD, it should then be present on all Edubuntu DVDs.

It took me a few goes, but I think this should be working now.
