Hi Pavel: Here are some posts from the mailing-list which might be of some use to you:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7677153 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7685312 Alternatively, there is also a script called 'mkbootpackage' (from the SIS project) which can do exactly what you want - except it is in early development stage. Feel free to search the archive for this program and help out by testing and reporting any problems you have to the SIS mailing-lists. Good luck.
