simple-cdd 0.3.4 from Sid. debian-cd 3.0.2 from Etch. > how did you install simple-cdd? I run an up-to-date Debian Etch. I did aptitude install debian-cd reprepro since I already had the remaining simple-cdd dependencies already installed. Then I downloaded simple-cdd from Sid and installed it usind dpkg. > are you trying to build an etch, lenny or sid CD? I'm trying to build a Etch CD, including main, contrib an non-free packages both from the main repositories and also from debian-multimedia.org. There will also be a couple of local packages. > what was the commandline you used for simple-cdd? Created a work directory, cd into it, created profiles/Escritorio.packages with the list of desired packages and profiles/Escritorio.preseed with several debconf preseeds. Also created simple-cdd.conf and then ran simple-cdd --conf simple-cdd.conf --profiles-udeb-dist sid --do-mirror Everything worked fine. Got the "package nod found" error I wrote about a couple of weeks ago, but solved it by manually checking for Provides in the dependency list. Up to that point I was only using packages in main. Then tried adding w32codecs from debian-multimedia.org, and it worked fine. Then tried adding msttcorefonts which is contrib and several packages in non-free (mostly linux kernel modules and WiFi firmware) and it did not download the packages at all. > since simple-cdd version 0.3.1, only the configuration files of your > profiles are included by default. > > build-simple-cdd --conf some-conf-file This is the way I'm doing it. The conf-file mentiones the profile I want included (Escritorio, which is spanish for Desktop) and some other options, but only the ones I need (like using spanish, Venezuela as country...). > or put it into: > > profiles/FOO.conf > > i would strongly recommend only including the options you actually need > in configuration files... > > > To be precise, I added 'msttcorefonts' and several non-free kernel > > modules (nvidia, fgrlx, some WiFi firmwares) along with Sun Java > > packages to profile.packages. > > profiles/profile.packages ? or profiles/default.packages ? or ... ? > profiles/Escritorio.packages > > msttcorefonts gets into the CD, but none of the non-free ones do.

I added export CONTRIB=1 export NONFREE=1 to simple-cdd.conf -- Ernesto Hernández-Novich - Linux 2.6.18 i686 - Unix: Live free or die! Geek by nature, Linux by choice, Debian of course.
