I don't understand what is wanted. Could it be that the original poster is looking for "Debian from scratch"? This comes from 'dfsbuild': |Description: Build Debian From Scratch CD/DVD images | Debian From Scratch (DFS) is a live bootable CD that is designed to | provide a fully-featured kernel and a fully-featured rescue environment. | The rescue environment contains filesystem tools, editors, C development | environment, etc. | . | dfsbuild is the program used to create the DFS CD image. It is highly | configurable and can be used to create other custom bootable CD or DVD | images. You can use dfsbuild to do something as simple as building a | DFS CD with a custom kernel. Or, you can customize the CD to include a | completely different set of packages. | . | dfsbuild works by obtaining packages from your nearest Debian mirror. | It will generate an ISO image that contains a bootable Debian system | generated by installing those packages. Also, it can place all the .debs | and files needed by cdebootstrap in the image. Thus, the | generated image can be used to install the base Debian system on a PC as | well. > Thanks in advance, > Luca An E-mail how helpfull this message was, is appricated.
