The instructions on http://webconverger.org/develop/ is uncomplete, so
here you have a working step-by-step instruction on building
Webconverger. :-)
• Download and install latest Debian i386 – choose to add internet
repositories during the install.
• Log in and start a Terminal
• Run the following commands and tasks in the terminal:
su
gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following lines in sources.list:
deb http://live.debian.net/ sid-snapshots main contrib non-
free
deb-src http://live.debian.net/ sid-snapshots main contrib
non-free
save and exit gedit
apt-get update
apt-get install live-helper
apt-get install git
mkdir /tmp/webconverger/
cd /tmp/webconverger/
git clone http://git.debian.org/git/debian-live/config-webc.git
‘ If you want to use a customized version of firefox/iceweasel, as
described on http://webconverger.org/kiosk/ modify and run the
following line. In this example “iceweasel-webcnoaddressbar” is used.
sed -i s/iceweasel-webconverger/iceweasel-webcnoaddressbar/ config-
webc/webconverger/config/chroot_local-packagelists/webconverger.list
‘ For information on the following task, see http://webconverger.org/boot/
gedit config-webc/webconverger/auto/config
Change to your prefered start page:
homepage=
add and set the following values (not mandatory):
locales=
keyboard-layouts=
kioskresetstation=
noblank
save and exit gedit
gedit /etc/hosts
add the following line:
129.132.86.210 cdn.debian.net
save and exit gedit
cd /tmp/webconverger/config-webc/webconverger/
lh config
lh build
• You should now have a “binary-hybrid.iso” file in /tmp/webconverger/
config-webc/webconverger/
• Burn the file to CD and boot from it, or see http://webconverger.org/usb/
if you want to use an USB memory.
Good luck!

Thanks! I've added a link to the develop page, then me or someone else can update it later.

Oh... observe that I use "/tmp" as working directory in the above
example. Replace that with something else if you want to keep the
build after reboot.

Hey folks,
it seems live-build is a fast moving target. In attempt to get an usb-
hdd image (which hasn't actually worked so far yet), I noticed that
the latest live-build from experimental (3.0~a28-1) breaks with the
webconverger config (--repositories has been renamed to --archives).
There seem to be a few other changes that break the webconverger
configuration (I think the config/*_local_* has been renamed to remove
the local part).
In case anyone is wondering, I used the current unstable version
(3.0~a21-1) to succesfully build an iso-hybrid image. I suspect that
the current version from sid-snapshots (3.0~a14+20110325.090637) would
also work, but I haven't tried it yet (only for usb-hdd, with no real
success yet). In case you're wondering, the sid-snapshots version is
older than the unstable version because snapshot building is currently
on hold because it needs some changes, according to #debian-live).

After I run git clone http://git.debian.org/git/debian-live/config-webc.git
I get an error saying that it can't find some packages
Any one know how to fix this?

Nevermind
I had to use git clone git://git.debian.org/git/debian-live/config-webc.git

I used http in the instructions just to be sure that the traffic will
pass proxies and firewalls.

Hi guys,
I'm working on migrating the Webc config to work with the bleeding
edge Debian Live. I have a _basic_ daily build working again :-)
http://build.webconverger.org/
There are a couple of issues I'm aware of, like the plymouth packages
not coming into the build. Be great if anyone could help.
For build instructions, I encourage you to please add them to the wiki:
http://webconverger.org/develop/
Kind regards from Singapore (waiting for my flight back to London!),

I've since added your openid to the whitelist, allowing you to edit
the page. Please try again. Any problems, email me directly. Many
thanks!
