Hello all, I'm using Debian to create "community access points" (caps) -- a computer open to the public with web browsers, ftp clients, pdf viewers etc etc. I'm targetting 486's because so many of these get donated to non-profits around the city.
I've had fun configuring my machine to fire up an X session and a terminal session when kicked into runlevel 5. I've also had fun trying out various window managers so that windows (and mac) users can easily use the machine. Now I'd like to make my tweaks easily installed by other users. The first obvious thing for me to do would be to make some debian packages so that people can install them on a running debian machine. Then I started to think about the installation process. Given a 486 with a 350MB (or less) hardrive, we're probably not going to install some of the default packages (tetex, emacs, gcc, etc etc). So, I was wondering if I can somehow make a list of "cap" packages, and thus change the default install to something else? Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt
