Presume you have installed what you want to have on the image. Last half of your questions is answered. Just do dpkg -l and you have the list. Even better use dpkg --get-selections The first question is also misleading. When you have the installation, the way it should be, you just make a bootable iso out of it. "An Easier Alternative One possible "alternative" to this procedure is to use Simple-CDD. If it does everything you need for your custom CD, then there is no reason (except curiosity) to go through the rest of this article" https://wiki.debian.org/DebianCustomCD spent just 2 minutes in google and this is only the first hit. please India spent more time reading. It is for free :) regards
