Hello again,

Now just in debian-custom ;-) Sorry!

Here is what happened last night:
1) Including the packages that I nedd in default.packages or
profile.packages, and then adding the command below in default.preseed
d-i pkgsel/include string x-window-system lirc
(where x-window-system and lirc are the packages that I want installed) done
the trick. Thank you very much, again! ;-)

2) The Splash did not worked! Uncommenting the line SPLASH on
simple-cdd.conf and putting the image (PNG, 640x480), simple-cdd just gave
me

/root/etch-simple-cdd/tmp//debian-cd/tools/boot/etch/boot-i386: line 197:

but, if I comment again the line, everything works normal
again... but this is not critical.
I
am seeking for the boot splash image, not only in install. The rest of
the installer can be the debian-install standard, but I am
thinking in subsequent normal boots after the install... grub splash image?
I understand
that this is related to the grub package, but I am in doubt how to include the
splash.png in the CD. I am trying to use the simple-cdd.conf all_extras to
include my files, but with no success. The files are placed in the
simple-cdd directory in the iso, correct? But I cannot include any files.

# extra files to include onto the CD
# these will get copied to /simple-cdd dir on the CD
all_extras="file_1.png"



Thank everybody very much!

Ivan

i don't think you need to set the keyboard anymore- i think
debian-installer should guess this from locale settings, unless it
guesses incorrectly.

also, i'm not sure if these are the right debconf questions anymore-
they may be leftovers from sarge.

profiles/*.postinst will get copied to the installed system and run
during the "finish-install" phase of the install process.

see SPLASHPNG in simple-cdd.conf to set the boot splash, i'm not sure
about other parts of the install.

please look in /var/log/installer/syslog to see if there are error
messages regarding the packages you wanted to install. noteably, you
should not include linux-image* packages in profiles/*.packages

live well,
  vagrant

p.s. please just write to the debian-custom list, not to me directly.
