BookwormDog build script

A very great thing about the Puppy Linux Forum is that it has been the home to incredible creativity. There are many derivatives of Puppy Linux, including the *Dog distributions. I use the word "derivative" rather loosely; The *Dog distros are really Debian or Ubuntu or Devuan distributions made to look like Puppy Linux. Which they do very well.

I want to checkout the latest offerings on the Puppy Forum. Apart from the *Dog distros, there are others including FatDog (nothing to do with the *Dogs; a different pedigree), the KL* distros, VanillaDpup. etc.

Starting with DebianDog, there is a build script for Bookworm:

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=5069

I ran the script:

# ./mklive-bookworm -gui

A huge selection to choose from:

...I chose the Jwm minimal. Next-up, ticked some checkboxes:

First error:

...however, the script did download the deboostrap deb and I was able to install it. Had to run the script again from the start. Then it put up another message that package dpkg is missing. I installed that from PKGget, and it required starting the script from start again.

A few more windows came up, all good, and packages got downloaded. I did see some errors flash by on the terminal:

Preparing to unpack debootstrap_1.0.134_all.deb ...
Unpacking debootstrap (1.0.134) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of debootstrap:
 debootstrap depends on wget; however:
  Package wget is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package debootstrap (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 debootstrap
Setting up debootstrap in bookworm/chroot

...note, wget is installed. Another error:

The script asked a question about squashfs compression and I chose "xz":

Now we will create compressed kernel: k-6.1.0-25-amd64.squashfs and filesystem: '01-filesystem.squashfs'
Please enter your choice, xz compression will give smaller size than gzip,
but xz takes much longer time to compress
Type gzip or xz : 

This is where things went wrong, or so it seems. Lots of error messages flashed by, captured some of them:

Then it seemed to be stopped, though the hard drive remained very busy. After about 15 minutes, I typed CTRL-C to quit:

Should I have waited longer? I will ask on the forum.
