Hello, Installing Debian on many Systems from time to time gets me into troble. If I want to install a minimal system while using a kernel compiled by me, the standard Debian installation procedure often fails.
Does anyone know the install procedure od Debian? Because I want to make the following task: create a booting disk (using a 'up-to-date' kernel and lets say 'grub'). (I am familiar to this) create a CD with minimal system, debian-installation-program (how is it called?) and the needed network-packages including dpkg, apt, console-apt. Booting this system I can use dpkg--set-selections and install the rest of the system. My questions are: - What is the installation program called and how is it invoked from standard debian installation procedure (passing the 'init=bla.sh' option to the kernel???) ? - What are the needed packages for a network-setup to get ready for the use of apt-get? - How can I make a bootable CD with grub? Thank you very much. If this problem is solved, I can produce a minimal installation-procedure for installing a well known installation to a further Computer with network access. Bye Ralf Müller
