I recently did this same thing by adding my own custom task to tasksel. You can then preseed the system to install that task by default. I found it to be fairly easy and re-packaging tasksel was pretty painless. You only need to add a single file to the package and then rebuild. I wrote a wrapper script that downloads the tasksel package and then performs the updates rebuilds it and then runs debian-cd to put everything together. I'll admit that at first it was a bit of a pain, and I had to do a lot of hunting around to find that this was going to be my best option (I hope it is anyways). But now that I have a procedure defined it's painless to create and build new CDs with custom packages or package listings installed by default. -- o) Derek Wueppelmann (o (D . [EMAIL PROTECTED] D).
