Debian doesn't yet have the ability to create non-hacky pre-installed images. All our pre-installed images (currently only live images) are produced by configuring as per normal and then removing host-specific files (like OpenSSH keys), which is a bit hacky. Ideally dpkg/apt/packages would have a "generically configured" state and debootstrap/d-i would have an "OEM mode" and systems installed in this state would do needed host-specific configuration on initial boot.
Once we have the ability to create generic images, the right place to build/distribute them will be on the cdimage.d.o infrastructure, rather than from the package archive. There are some unofficial qemu images available but they aren't well integrated with our official image production infrastructure. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
