I'm trying to customize the instalation of a debian system and am using the debian-cd tool to create the custom cd....
I'm trying to customize the D-I process (that one you choose the language, keyboard, perform hardware detect, do network configuration, etc etc)... so, i'll enumerate what i did... 0 - got the debian-installer .tar.gz (version 20050317 - compatible with the sarge distribution) and untargzipped it to a [debian-installer] directory... 1 - tried to create a [my-distro]-udeb package and created the [my-distro]_0.0.1_all.udeb package with dpkg-buildpackage... the only thing it was suppose to do was to display a welcome message to the user (I set the XB-Installer-Menu-Item to 9, so it was supposed to be displayed before any other thing and checked the templates file, it was all ok...) 2 - sent it to the [debian-installer]/build/localudebs and created the debian-installer with dpkg-buildpackage.... again, it was ok.... 3 - sent the directory [debian-installer]/debian/tmp/installer-i386/current to [my-local-mirror]/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/current/ (for debian-cd) 4 - configured debian-cd (conf.sh) to get the sarge distribution (editing the task/Debian_sarge to get the minimal set for a CD, that is, the last include was forcd1 file)... 5 - created the CD with build.sh... it created the CD... then I booted the CD and it didn't displayed the initial message (which it was supposed to display when I created the [my-distro]-udeb package)... So, what can it be? Isn't debian-cd getting this udeb I need? I want first to customize this D-I part... after it I want to customize the base-config and then the tasksel... I'm reading a portuguese documentation (Como criar uma Personalização Debian - CDD) wich did very well until this part of alter the base-config and the tasksel parts.... but first I wanted to solve the D-I problem.... Really thanks for the attention!!!!! Daniel
