Let me explain : you put on the cd only the applis to have a
functional system. About 150 Mo I think, but not sure. Anyway, let say
the stuff is small enough to be contained on a cd, ok ?
On the same cd, you create a directory, you can call it "applis" or
whatever you like.
In this dir, you create commands, the same you can make with a right
clic on the destop and choose "create a launcher".
These commands are : apt-get install appli1 appli2 appli3... let say
you can make a command for sound applis, one for graphism, one for
video, etc...
And of course you need to put a text file on the cd, to explain people
what to do !
Get it ?
Hi Frederic :)
I'm not really sure if I do understand it right.
It's possible to write shell scripts that does 'apt-get install
audio-app1 audio-app2 audio-app3' and another script that runs 'apt-get
install video-app1 video-app2 video-app3'. But anyhow you need to take
care about the enabled and disabled repositories before you can run such
scripts.
Repositories should be pre-configured. Most people should not need to
make changes.
If you are using a GUI for a package management it's possible to easy
enable or disable repositories and you can search for package groups
like audio and video packages and install them all the same way a shell
script would do that.
I think he is talking about the package groups that install a specific
set of packages, something similar to kubuntu-desktop (all you run is
sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop, and all the packages get
installed automatically).
Having such scripts you recommend to have, you're right that there will
be no dependency conflicts because of the scripts, while I thought you
were writing about packages that should install such groups and they
will cause dependency conflicts.
Anyhow it might be easier to install packages by a GUI for a package
management. You can do it by a GUI the same way you can do it with shell
scripts.
I think he is talking about a minimal install CD, like the old Debian
net install CD (and older install floppies).
Hi Gustin,
You think right about all points ! especially for repositories, which make
me going mad the times try to mix it, just to see if it works...
Is it a good idea to make a distrib like that ? means, to reduce to just
a cd ?
Excuse this newbie question if it is one, as am !!
Fred
