They basically use the same d-i build, but there may be differences in how the rest of the image is built. >Also, what is the process to rebuild the netinst CD image? >I followed https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Build . The netboot target >builds a mini.iso . But the build_cdrom target drops a debian-cd_info.tar.gz in >dest/cdrom/ and no iso. How can I build the netinst cd from there ? The debian-cd_info.tar.gz file is used by debian-cd when building the netinst and larger images that we provide (e.g. CD, DVD, BD). It contains soncifguration and text from the d-i build that are needed for those larger CD/DVD builds. >I'd like to be able to reproduce the problem from the source and >understand this. To do that, you'll need to install debian-cd (preferably the version from git master that's used for the daily builds) and a local mirror to build with. The docs in debian-cd are out of date (sorry!) but should give you a good start. If you need help, please ask here or in irc (irc.debian.org, #debian-cd). -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
