-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello!
I'm trying to get a grip on what is the reason for the many hardcoded custom images listed on the DebianInstaller page: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/CustomImages and the growing number of blends listed on the blends page: http://blends.debian.org/ Looks to me as if there is something going on there that could be generalised and merged into something automated. When we set up the 10 Lenovo laptops for the DebianParl project, there was a lot of work to come to the point where we could "start from scratch" so that we could know to some extent which problems users could run into on each machine. The preseeding method finally worked, but it would have been awesome if we instead could have had a trusted installer image from Lenovo in the same way as Olimex provides Olimex images for Olimex boards: https://olimex.wordpress.com/2015/11/06/debian-8-jessie-is-finally-released-for-olinuxino-boards/#comment-20272 But even better of course if we could have dynamically injected our preseeding file into a trusted installer image: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/11/msg00455.html A bit like when you install Debian from a CD, you make a few choices like language and keyboard etc. What if you could, in such a simple way, just choose "Tor-node", "firewall" or "debian-astro"?
