I assume that /var and /home are on different filesystems. Don't do that.

You don't need the Packages file, only the debs. I am using a simple shell-script for cd-building. delixs-cdd.sh: #!/bin/sh export simple_cdd_dir="/home/hjede/my-simple-cdd" export server="ftp.de.debian.org" export ARCHES="i386" export DISC_START_HOOK="$simple_cdd_dir/disc-start-hook.sh" export http_proxy="http://192.168.231.124:3128/"; /usr/share/simple-cdd/build-simple-cdd \ --conf $simple_cdd_dir/profiles/delixs.conf \ --dist etch \ "$@" The script "disc-start-hook.sh" adds additional files to my CD. I need this for testing some debconf.templates. But you may put any file on CD. disc-start-hook.sh: #!/bin/sh # $TDIR (the temporary dir containing the build tree) # $MIRROR (the location of the mirror) # $DISKNUM (the image number in the set) # $CDDIR (the root of the temp disc tree) # $ARCHES (the set of architectures chosen) # The disc_start hook. This will be called near the beginning of the # start_new_disc script, just after the directory tree has been created # but before any files have been added if [ "$3"=1 ] ; then cp -a $simple_cdd_dir/delixs $1/$CODENAME/CD1/ ||true fi > > I tried adding the .deb filenames in /var/ftp/debian/nymgy to > profiles/serrano.packages, but when I checked the ISO after building > it, they weren't included on the CD.

See above. simple-cdd uses reprepro as mirror tool. Copy your file somewhere to /home or use an extra mirror in your conf-file, like: # Extra mirror # May only work when using reprepro as mirror tool #debian_mirror_extra="http://example.com/debian/"; > > Any information, tips, tricks, documentation, or suggestions that > anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks in advance. > > -Mike > > -- > Inbound and outbound email scanned for spam and viruses by the > > DoubleCheck Email Manager: http://www.doublecheckemail.com -- Gruss Harry Jede -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
