You mean, any distribution that involves a payment, right? If payment is
only required in order to sell it, that implies that it can b

Peter and Andrew,
Please forgive me for not responding earlier regarding the Aladdin Ghostscript
license.
The only snag I see here is that Debian will be placed on a CD-ROM and sold
for profit by various publishers (I'm one, FSF is one, there are probably a
dozen others). It's not clear to me tha

I'd be happy to support both "NO_STARTSTOP_DAEMON" and "CROSS_INSTALL".

An excellent idea! That would do 90% of the work for me right away.
Ian Jackson still maintains start-stop-daemon, right? Ian, can you make

There should be a directory ./debian-0.93/ms-dos/disks with 8.3 names
for the boot, root, and base disks. Alternatively, the files themselves
could be given 8.3 names since (most of the time) they will be used
on MS-DOS systems.

I think the situation I described could be named "cross-installation".
There are other cases than building the base where one might want to
install to a different filesystem than the one currently running. Thus
perhaps CROSS_INSTALL=1 is the flag to use. If I don't hear much objection
to that today

Rather than naming the effect you want, not starting daemons, I would
think it better to name the situation, like DEB_BASE_BUILD or
something. Now as time goes on, the scripts will be left to do the
right thing, for that set of conditions. This, of course, should be
documented like nobody's busin

Part of the process of building the base disks involves installing all of

Debian GNU/Linux 0.93 Release 6 is now available via anonymous FTP
from ftp.debian.org in the directory /debian. Release 6 is the first
official release of version 0.93, which has been under development
for over a year, and it is the first official release from the Debian
Project since January
It looks fine to me. Go for it!
Thanks
