Hello debian-boot subscribers,
I'm doing a personalized cdrom build of debian-installer using the 8.10 dist on
i386. I have a small issue. I'm adding all the udebs normally retrieved from
the pool by appending them to the base file in the packages directory. This is
so I can make a minimal base installation image without manually adding the
fairly large number of udebs normally retrieved from the pool. It also has the
benefit of speeding up the installation. All works fine, but debian-installer
insists on retrieving the libc6-udeb package from the pool. That one udeb has
to be there so debian-installer doesn't abort. Is there some way I can fix
that?
I have in mind a similar project.
Although there is much on the web about custom Install CD's; the pages
always assume the reader has the same background as author. It leaves me
confused.
I'd love to see a write-up at the project level. That is not just a
recipe, but including the goal of the project and reasoning behind
choices made at significant milestones.
I wish to end up with a personalized build of debian-installer.
Note Bene: The total absence of mention cdrom or anything ISO9660 related.
Think of a world where the cost of blank 64 GB flash drives was similar
to blank DVDs. I don't expect that to happen, but personally a
cost/benefit ratio would strongly favor the flash drive.
TIA
