Hello list, I would like to create a USB flash drive to be used for offline installation of my clients (i.e. no Internet/Intranet access, hence all files/packages required should be stored in and retrieved from the USB memory itself).
I followed the instruction in the FAI guide [1], using "fai-mirror(1)" and "fai-cd(1)", and everything was ok (I was able to create the image to be copied into the USB stick). BTW, during the installation I see that packages are downloaded from Internet, which it is not what I want. I suppose the problem is my updatebase hook, which sets the content of "$target/etc/apt/sources.list" to "deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150425T231310Z/ jessie main contrib". How can I told that hook that "If doing an installation via USB flash drive use the packages stored in the drive itself, otherwise grab them from Internet"? In general, is there a better way to do that? How do you perform offline installation? Thank you for your support and best regards, Giorgio B.
