Thanks. > I'm trying to create a custom debian cd too, not only for the custom package selection but also to automate some parts of the installation proces, like configuring mail and choosing repositories. The options i found so far are: debian-cd package: used to create the official cd images, allows you to select the packages you want on your cd and also has support for a custom repository. I can't find a way to change the installer, so it allows me to install some basic configuration files. pgi: seems to work, but doesn't allow for a custom repository. There are however some post-installation hooks. fai-bootcd: this script creates the package repository based on the package classes defined in fai and creates an iso image with the repos and all fai scripts. Fai is a bit complicated to setup but is very flexible and is made for unattended setups. the new debian installer seems interesting too but i didn't found any information about how to create a woody image with it. The fai-bootcd fitted my requirements best. Are there any other options that i've missed? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
