I'm not sure how much work is needed to nobble the necessary questions. The boot-floppies mailing list is the place to ask about this if looking at the code doesn't make it obvious. > - add some self-build packages This is the preserve of debian-cd I'm a bit out of date on recent changes but you add a debian/local hierarchy with your new packages in and set the LOCAL=1 variable in /etc/debian-cd/conf.sh You can get boot-floppies to use these packages over the normal ones too when you rebuild it. > Can you point me to some documents, where I can learn more about this > subject? Where should I start? read the docs for the above packages and you will at least be able to ask intelligent questions either here or on boot-floppies, as appropriate. It's fair to say that there is no 'Making customised Debian-CD's HOWTO' SFAIK. If you wrote one for woody it would no doubt be appreciated.
