It would be nice. But how could I do this? > But the idea is to make the enhancements INSIDE Debian to > avoid reinventing the wheel over and over again. This is my intention, to do things inside Debian. I'm just customizing Debian to my CDD. I always avoid reinventing the wheel, when the wheel is working very nicely. I just reinvent it when I can do better or when I just want to learn. :) > Whether you are on the right way does not depend from the name you > gave your baby.

My intention is to make a distribution which is easy to end users in Brazil, in a way that they can just install it with the default options and get the system working alright. But also, I want to provide some packages required by a government program which cuts taxes for computers sellers. So, if a manufacturer sells a computer with my future CDD installed on it, they don't have to pay all the usual taxes for this selling. >> I think I need some advices. :P > > So you should ask a question that might trigger a helpful answer. ;-)) Yeah! My bad. :P >> PS.: The installer is being a problem too. I wrote a shell script to >> install the system (copy the whole thing to a hard drive partition). > > But *what* exactly is the problem. The problem is: I don't know how to use debian=installer yet. But don't worry, I'm in the beggining, there's too much to learn yet. > Are you aware of the Debian Brasil project > http://debian-br.alioth.debian.org/ ? > > I'm smelling another wheel invention ... Yes. I already tried it before, but I need to try more, because I had a very little experience with Debian-BR CDD. You say they are reinventing the wheel, tell me why (your opinions about it). I don't want to fall into the same mistake. > Kind regards > > Andreas. Thanks for the help.
