Firstly thanks a lot for turnkey linux appliances. love the light weight appliances.
i have been tinkering around with customizing a turnkey appliance (remastering the cd). will surely document and share when i get the time.
my question is - how do i add a custom recipe to the guided partitioning of the installer? (i want to have seperate partitions for /tmp /usr /var .. etc, by default during automatic partitioning)
Forum:
Thanks, and some direction
Regarding your question on auto-partitioning, the package in question you are referring to is di-live, but the partitioning is done by the partman-* packages (which were created to work with debian-installer), and included in di-live.
I know the above doesn't pin point exactly what you need to do to achieve your objective, but should point you in the right direction.
Let us know how it goes, good luck!
thanks for the quick reply
partman auto recipes

TBH I have no idea...
OTOH if you can get away with an OVA or some other type of supported VM build, then you can leverage the work that we've done. E.g. the current default VM build (OVA) is created by buildtasks: bt-vm
