admittedly, i haven't much tested simple-cdd 0.3.7 with etch- it was mostly focusing on getting it working with lenny... i don't think there should be major problems, but it hasn't been as well tested with etch as previous versions. > I create the profiles/default.packages with the extra package list. > The cd image builds with the extra packages on the iso image.
