Here is how i thought about it: 1)Do a fresh lucid installation. 2)Generate download script for the selected packages using synaptic.(File->Generate Package Download script) 3)Download using the script to a folder (my-repository). 4)Make it a simple repository using $ cd my-repository $ dpkg-scanpackages binary /dev/null | gzip -9c > binary/Packages.gz (http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto.en.html) 5)Burn this folder and the following script to a CD 6)Write a shell script that would prompt the user to select packages to install. The script should: 1)Add the CD to sources sources.list 2)Prompt the user to select the applications to install eg:Install VLC media player(Y/N)? The only difference is not not using keryx. Also i dont think the script is actually necessary--People should one day or another learn to add repositories and install packages. -- Srihari -- "Freedom is the only law".
