You're nearly there; in addition to having it in build/localudebs/, you also need to add it to some appropriate file in build/pkg-lists/. For example build/pkg-lists/local would do. Or you could just build a monolithic image, which is an image type intended for this kind of testing. > In the case of the netinst image, it just downloads the official 2.3 > udeb from the mirror since there is no pool, and when I tried make > build_cdrom_isolinux, it just prepared the kernel and initrd in a > directory rather than making an iso. cdrom is mostly not a very convenient image type to use, since it needs to be paired with debian-cd or similar to construct the actual CD. Try "make rebuild_netboot", or as I say "make rebuild_monolithic" to build all plausible udebs into the image. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
