Frans Pop gave a good tutorial on this at debconf6, http://debconf6.debconf.org/comas/general/proposals/32.html There is a video of the talk at, http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2006/debconf6/mpeg1-nt sc/2006-05-18/tower/Debian_installer_workshop-Frans_Pop.mpeg More video formats at, http://www.decadent.org.uk/cgi-bin/debconf6-video-status.py A google search on the talk title turned up the slides, http://people.debian.org/~fjp/talks/debconf6/paper/ I suspect there might be additional documentation on this stuff, maybe someone else on the list knows? I found this in the wiki http://wiki.debian.org/BuildingUDebs maybe you can fix it up as you become a udeb expert :) If you still need help the debian-boot list might be a good place to ask too as they are the primary udeb users. -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
