did you include linux-image-2.6-486 in your test.packages? it's best to let debian-installer's linux-image selection work instead (that menu of kernels to install). if you want something other than the -486 kernels included on the CD, you could include it in profiles/test.downloads.

Do I need to add startx to config? if you want startx, add xbase-clients to your profiles/test.packages. > Incidently, you might note in your docs that you need to be in root to > execute the ./build-simple-cdd step. i've never once ran build-simple-cdd as root, and intend to ensure that's never a requirement. i recommend against running it as root. what problem did you have that was fixed by running as root? live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
