Ok, I've got that, but my problem is that run_woof and run_woof_helper don't have any documentation on how to use them.

Re: run_woof[_helper] usage?
Sorry, wasn't asking about that. The base woof-CE does claim to produce ISOs, and the builddistro script does include a lot of ISO-related stuff which isn't in your builddistro, so I was asking about that one.

run_woof[_helper] usage?
So... belatedly discovered that vanilla-dpup/woof-CE doesn't produce ISOs, so I'm having a go at the run_woof flow (vanilla-dpup was otherwise very easy to use, but only produces raw disk image outputs, which are a world away from an ISO image).

Re: Minimal text-only live build?
Thanks - that was it. I've added bc at line 189 in the trixie deps file you referenced (it's needed to create include/generated/timeconst.h; see the Kbuild file). I've left the build running - I'm guessing it'll take a couple of hours.

Re: Minimal text-only live build?
Sorry, been trying to make a living for the past couple of weeks, but back on the job now.
I've just tried dimkr's instructions (thanks) for vanilla-dpup, if only because they seem comprehensive, and I have to start somewhere.

Re: Minimal text-only live build?
Thanks - I'll give a directory build a go. The image can be anything at all, as long as it can fetch a remote image and dd it to a disk. It would be nice if it was a recent Debian, but it doesn't really matter.

Re: Minimal text-only live build?
And a question: if I'm building locally (I don't want to use github) do I need a real partition to do the build in, or can I just build in a directory?

Minimal text-only live build?
I'm just about to try a Woof-CE build, but I'd like to make sure that I'm not re-inventing the wheel first.
Is there already a recipe for a text-only live build? All I need is a boot to a shell, with no graphics. I don't care which distro, or whether it's 32- or 64-bit. It needs to have a UEFI boot ...
