I use some tricks around debootstrap's scripts and redefine the list of basic packages and override debootstrap's devices.tar.bz2 to fit the vserver's needs and remove all unnecessary things. Finally, I want this tool to go to the debian distribution but it's quite another story. ;) > > e.g. not needed but usually depended on: > - hardware detection (pci/kuzdu/...) > - device files (/dev/*) > - kernel & kernel headers > - modules & modutils > - bootloader, hdpartition, fscreation ... I may line out things I came out with and it would be great to discuss this if anyone has better ideas. > > best, > Herbert
