What is this?
-------------
This is a Debian Games live image configuration that will build a Wheezy amd64
-image suitable for use on a 4G USB key or DVD.
+image suitable for use on a 8G USB key, DVD-R(w) DL or BD-R(E).
Status
------
-As of the date of writing, it is tested against live-build 3.0~a26-1 plus
-rb290b41 from git.
+As of the date of writing, it is tested against live-build 3.0~a45-1.
Building the image
------------------
* Ensure you have sufficient bandwidth to your preferred Debian archive
mirror to build the image, as it will be downloading a considerable
number of packages.
-* Ensure you have enough disk space to build the image. About 5 times the
- size of the final image is required, or about 20G for a 4G image.
+* Since Wheezy is not yet finalized, image size will vary. Initially, the image
+ was around 4G, but as of the latest test build, it is around 7G.
+* Ensure you have enough disk space to build the image. About 4 to 5 times the
+ size of the final image is required. We measured about 20G when the image was
+ 4G, but now it is approaching 30G for the 7G image.
* Ensure that the user building the image has superuser access via sudo.
* Ensure live-build is at least at the version indicated above, and download
any additional packages to the specified location if needed.

* Some time later (how long depends on bandwidth, speed of disks, processor
etc.) an image file binary-hybrid.iso will be generated to the current
directory, along with a log of the process in build.log.
