This is going off topic a little...
There's a really good article in one of Linux Forum mags in the library
about rolling your own distro.
Nick yours is the second request in as many weeks with specialist
requirements for a turn key distro cd.
Strikes me that we should run a sub project with some presentation
nights to teach people who are interested how to do this.
I think it's something that the LES kids should learn, so if some of you
can humour the pain of me asking dumb questions, I might get the article
out again and have a closer look.
Obviously this isn't going to deliver a solution for you today or any
time soon, but it would make a useful presentation for later in the
year/early next yet.
Thoughts all?
Cheers Don

I want to boot a keyboardless computer from a cd that will enable me to
log in remotely over ssh and then install some software like dvbtools
and some other stuff to play around with my dvb-s card, and without any
user intervention on the box itself (apart from putting the cd in and
flicking a switch of course). Of course this would be a rather insecure
default setup given that it would leave the box open to be logged into -
I imagine people wouldn't normally ship a cd that did that.
ubuntu 5.10 booted fine, but doesn't have sshd and would require a
keyboard to install sshd.
small and light would be good, I want X but am not really fussed about
having gnome or kde or any other memory hogs.
Do I have to make something myself?
