How is what you want different from booting the DVD?
Essentially that I want my "thingy" to be on an intrinsically read/write medium. There are references to "customizing an install CD/DVD" on the web. I have found them to have too narrow a definition of "custom" and/or being incomplete.
or differint from debootstrap: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/debootstrap
I looked at debootstrap back when Squeeze was "stable" and I was brand new to Linux. Maybe I've learned enough to understand the instructions for using debootstrap.
https://www.debian.org/releases/potato/i386/ch-init-config.en.html "dbootstrap is the name of the program which is run after you have booted into the installation system. It is responsible for initial system configuration and the installation of the ``base system''. " Here is something close. It contains just what is needed to install a minimal system, (what it sounds like you want) and then it's the late_command does stuff you might want too: apt install git ansible git clone playbook ansible ... which installs and configures the apps needed to make videos. This script creates a bootable usb stick based on a 58M hd-media/boot.img.gz https://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/blob/nbpy/scripts/mk_usb_installer.sh Most of the script is managing the ansible parameters.
I'll have to spend some time with ansible to see what its goals and how the mesh with my mental image of my goals and the path to accomplish them.
The installer will search for an iso and use it as a local repo, the script puts this on the same usb stick: 290M Dec 9 07:04 debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst
