I'm picking up on the work that my son started, so I may be missing some steps. Here's what I did: 1. Starting in my own home directory I downloaded etch-simple-cdd bzr get http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/bzr/simple-cdd/etch-simple-cdd 2. Then: cd etch-simple-cdd 3. In profiles I created "test.packages," and added: xfce4 gimp My goal is the simplest possible build with no pre- or post-seeding until I understand the basic process. I want to walk before I run. 4. In simple-cdd.conf, I added "profiles="test" I don't understand what "set mirror_tools" means. Are these the variables you're talking about: server= "ftp.us.debian.org" debian-mirror= "http://$server/debian/" rsync_debian_mirror= %server::debian" If so, I left them as shown. I note in etch-simple-cdd/README that you mention "up.to.date.mirror" but I don't know what you mean by that. 5. I executed: debuild -us -uc -I.bzr -b 6. And then: ./build-simple-cdd --profiles test --local-packages $(pwd)/../simple-cdd-profiles_0.3.0-1_all.udeb After running for a very long time, the system returned with errors (I didn't have a printer hooked to dev machine, meant to copy them down, but accidently closed the console window.) The system did not return a *.raw file. Feels closer, but clearly I'm overlooking something. Many thanks, Lloyd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
