I see.

So the security policy prohibits USB disk but allow DVD/CD use. Your intent is to work around security policy's intent by using this loop hole. I suggest you to talk to security people before installing files this way as common sense .... By the way, technically what is the problem of "complain"? You can install it, I think. As long as you checked DVD contents in advance, you do not need to check it any more. > Even if I sign it myself, I will need to remaster installer CD to > include the correct key. > > So, Is there any way to reconstruct officially signed repository from > DVDs, or am I just on a really wrong way on achieving my goal? There is always a way but it is not so simple. Your goal is to install system, isn't it? (But please check network policy before doing so. I do ot want you to get into trouble with "security policy"). Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
