How to build

The construction of the CD is pretty easy. Configuration is all done in the /livecd/conf directory, you can read how to do it debian-live site, or go in IRC debian-live channel

In non-Debian systems (Fedora, etc)

1. Get the live-helper source code

 git clone git://git.debian.net/git/debian-live/live-helper.git live-helper

In Debian systems

1.

 apt-get install live-helper

2.

 svn co https://sugarlivecd.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sugarlivecd
 cd ./sugarlivecd/livecd
 lh_clean ; lh_build

The creation takes time, and you will need to be connected to the internet.
