I've been working around debian-cd, and it's probably your program. Hardly all you must to know it's here: http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstaller (at 18:50 the link is broken!, this morning it was working...)
You will be especially interested in this sections: DebianCustomCD and ModifyImage. In my case, i have follow point per point DebianCustomCD (I'm working in a debian derivate). A quick reference: - download the debian installer image (i recommend the last one stable netinst, actually d-i rc2). - install it in a prototype system, and add all the programs you want to include on the cd. Well, really you don't need to install the programs, you cand do something like: apt-get install -d program1 program2.... (this downloads the packages without installing) Don't clean /var/cache/apt/archives !!! here you need to keep the .deb's - copy all the contents of the cd to your hard-disk - now you have to syncronize your /var/cache/apt/archives with the pool/ of the cd. I've used apt-move for this task: configure /etc/apt-move.conf and execute apt-move fsck && apt-move update. - At this step you have a pool/ with all the packages you want, you have to generate your "packages" and "releases" files, it's pretty well documented at the wiki. - Now copy the folder backup/dist/sarge/main/intaller-i386/ to the dist/sarge/main/installer/. The folder backup it's created automatically when you run "apt-move fsck". - Now, you have to install debian-cd and... - go to /usr/share/debian-cd/ - edit CONF.sh - load to the envairoment the variables: ". CONF.sh" - make distclean (it cleans your temporal directory) - make mirrorcheck (it checks that dependencies of your mirror is ok) - make status (it should write nothing in your screen) - make make bin-list TASK=tasks/yourtask COMPLETE=1 (your task is a file wich list all the programs you want to include on your cd) - make bootable - make bin-images Voila! I know that's it's a quick and dirty (dirty, dirty) reference... if you are intereseted read the wiki and ask all you want :-) Carlos P.C. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
