Thanks for getting back to me so quickly and I will start digging on it. On a related question, I was just wondering if it was strictly required to use udeb packages instead of deb packages. in particular, for this single package that I want to add. Could it be left as a deb package? Although, I have read that deb packages are basically deb packaged but which have been stripped down to take out things like man pages, etc..
Sorry, that I am still a bit new to the Debian Installer but am starting to see how it comes together in my first build effort of the mini-gtk ISO. I want to explore how the Installer script works as well. Thanks again and have a great night, Lonnie On Thu, Sep 19, 2019 at 5:00 PM Geert Stappers <stapp...@stappers.nl> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 19, 2019 at 04:51:00PM -0400, Lonnie Cumberland wrote: > > Hello All, > > > > First, let me say that I really like what I have seen in Debian, after > > being a Ubuntu user for many years.
