    This chapter covers example builds for specific use cases with Debian  Live. If you are new to building your own Debian Live images, we recommend  you first look at the three tutorials in sequence, as each one teaches new  techniques that will help you use and understand the remaining examples.

    To use these examples you need a system to build them on that meets the  requirements listed in  <a href="installation.html#requirements">Requirements</a>  and has <i>live-build</i>  installed as described in  <a href="installation.html#installing-live-build">Installing live-build</a>.

    Note that, for the sake of brevity, in these examples we do not specify a  local mirror to use for the build. You can speed up downloads considerably  if you use a local mirror. You may specify the options when you use <tt>lb  config</tt>, as described in  <a href="customizing-package-installation.html#distribution-mirrors-build-time">Distribution mirrors used at build  time</a>,  or for more convenience, set the  default for your build system in <tt>/etc/live/build.conf</tt>. Simply create  this file and in it, set the corresponding <tt>LB_PARENT_MIRROR_*</tt> variables  to your preferred mirror. All other mirrors used in the build will be  defaulted from these values. For example:

  <label class="ocn"><a name="702" href="#702" class="lnkocn">702</a></label>
  <p class="i0" id="o702">

    Our choice of LXDE for this example reflects our desire to provide a minimal  desktop environment, since the focus of the image is the single use we have  in mind, the web browser. We could go even further and provide a default  configuration for the web browser in  <tt>config/includes.chroot/etc/iceweasel/profile/</tt>, or additional support  packages for viewing various kinds of web content, but we leave this as an  exercise for the reader.

    When optimizing an image to fit a certain media size, you need to understand  the tradeoffs you are making between size and functionality. In this  example, we trim only so much as to make room for additional material within  a 128M media size, but without doing anything to destroy integrity of the  packages contained within, such as the purging of locale data via the  <tt>localepurge</tt> package, or other such "intrusive" optimizations. Of  particular note, you should not use <tt>--bootstrap-flavour minimal</tt> unless  you really know what you're doing, as omitting priority <tt>important</tt>  packages will most likely produce a broken live system.

    The biggest space-saver here, compared to building a standard image on an  <tt>i386</tt> architecture system, is to select only the <tt>486</tt> kernel flavour  instead of the default <tt>-k "486 686-pae"</tt>. Leaving off APT's indices with  <tt>--apt-indices false</tt> also saves a fair amount of space, the tradeoff  being that you need to <tt>apt-get update</tt> before using apt in the live  system. Choosing the <tt>minimal</tt> package list leaves out the large  <tt>locales</tt> package and associated utilities. Dropping recommended packages  with <tt>--apt-recommends false</tt> saves some additional space, at the expense  of omitting some packages you might otherwise expect to be there, such as  <tt>firmware-linux-free</tt> which may be needed to support certain hardware. The  remaining options shave off additional small amounts of space. It's up to  you to decide if the functionality that is sacrificed with each optimization  is worth the loss in functionality.
