The main goal of this manual is to serve as a single access point to all documentation related to the Debian Live project. While it is primarily focused on helping you build a live system and not on end-user topics, an end-user may find some useful information in these sections: <a href="the-basics.html#the-basics">The Basics</a> covers preparing images to be booted from media or the network, and <a href="customizing-run-time-behaviours.html#customizing-run-time-behaviours">Customizing run time behaviours</a> describes some options that may be specified at the boot prompt, such as selecting a keyboard layout and locale, and using persistence.

Some of the commands mentioned in the text must be executed with superuser privileges which can be obtained by becoming the root user via <tt>su</tt> or by using <tt>sudo</tt>. To distinguish between commands which may be executed by an unprivileged user and those requiring superuser privileges, commands are prepended by <tt>$</tt> or <tt>#</tt> respectively. This symbol is not a part of the command.

While we believe that everything in this manual is important to at least some of our users, we realize it is a lot of material to cover and that you may wish to experience early success using the software before delving into the details. Therefore, we have provided three tutorials in the <a href="examples.html#examples">Examples</a> section designed to teach you image building and customization basics. Read <a href="examples.html#using-the-examples">Using the examples</a> first, followed by <a href="examples.html#tutorial-1">Tutorial 1: A standard image</a>, <a href="examples.html#tutorial-2">Tutorial 2: A web browser utility</a> and finally <a href="examples.html#tutorial-3">Tutorial 3: A personalized image</a>. By the end of these tutorials, you will have a taste of what can be done with Debian Live. We encourage you to return to more in-depth study of the manual, perhaps next reading <a href="the-basics.html#the-basics">The basics</a>, skimming or skipping <a href="the-basics.html#building-netboot-image">Building a netboot image</a>, and finishing by reading the <a href="customization-overview.html#customization-overview">Customization overview</a> and the chapters that follow it. By this point, we hope you are thoroughly excited by what can be done with Debian Live and motivated to read the rest of the manual, cover-to-cover.

<b>Live system</b>: An operating system that can boot without installation to a hard drive.

At the time of writing, <b>Squeeze</b> is the current <b>stable</b> release and <b>Wheezy</b> is the current <b>testing</b> release. <b>Sid</b> will always be a synonym for the <b>unstable</b> release.

The <b>stable</b> distribution contains the latest officially released distribution of Debian. The <b>testing</b> distribution is the staging area for the next <b>stable</b> release. A major advantage of using this distribution is that it has more recent versions of software relative to the <b>stable</b> release. The <b>unstable</b> distribution is where active development of Debian occurs. Generally, this distribution is run by developers and those who like to live on the edge.

After editing the files in <tt>manual/en/</tt>, please call the 'commit' target in the top level directory to sanitize the files and update the translation files:
</li>
</div><div class="substance">

After sanitizing, commit the changes. Write commit messages that consist of full, useful sentences in English, starting with a capital letter and ending with a full stop. Usually, these will start with the form 'Fixing/Adding/Removing/Correcting/Translating', e.g.
</li>

To submit a translation for a new language, follow these three steps:
</p>
</div><div class="substance">
<label class="ocn"><a name="67" href="#67" class="lnkocn">67</a></label>
<li class="bullet" id="o67">
Translate the about_manual.ssi.pot, about_project.ssi.pot and index.html.in.pot files to your language with your favourite editor (such as poedit). Send translated files to the mailing list. Once we have reviewed your submission, we will add the new language to the manual (providing the po files) and will enable it in the autobuild.
</li>
</div><div class="substance">
<label class="ocn"><a name="68" href="#68" class="lnkocn">68</a></label>
<li class="bullet" id="o68">
Once the new language is added, you can randomly start translating all po files in <tt>manual/po/</tt>.
</li>
</div><div class="substance">
<label class="ocn"><a name="69" href="#69" class="lnkocn">69</a></label>
<li class="bullet" id="o69">
Don't forget you need <tt>make commit</tt> to ensure the translated manuals are updated from the po files, before <tt>git commit -a</tt> and <tt>git push</tt>.
