Did anybody tried to substitute the default kernel with a custom one? I was thinking of include splashy (or bootsplash) in the custom distribution, but after I read at the debian-custom mailling list, there is still no way to change the kernel. So, two options seems possible: include the splashy debs on the simple-cdd directory and on postinst install then and modify grub/menu.lst accordingly, or change the kernel (in some way). What do you think?
Thanks. Ivan 2007/4/11, Ivan Paganini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello again everybody at debian-custom! As I proceed with the installation, new questions arises... ;-) Now I want to copy some files from the installation CD (already included on the simple-cdd directory) to the installed system, and execute a script to unpack this files on the new user account (also already created on the installation process). What I am doing is this: ROOT_DIR="/cdrom/simple-cdd" tar xvfz $ROOT_DIR/program-1.23.tar.gz cd program-1.23; perl Makefile.PL;make;make install su - user -c "tar xvf $ROOT_DIR/file.tar" su - user -c "perl ~/new_dir/script.pl`` The problem is ROOT_DIR; I don`t know when the installer is going to call this script, so I dont know what is mounted where and what is not. Is my way correct? Or what is the correct way to do it? Also, I want, for example, to add a sudoer (the user that I created) on the new system. Do I have to copy a sudoers file to the system after the installation that I previously created, or there is a ``debian-way`` to do it? Thank you very much!
