Hi,
I'm going on experimenting with debian-cd.
I'm wandering if I do really need a full debian mirror in order to
build the ISO. I guess that the only relevant part are the packages
belonging to the base system and the debian-installer section. Isn't
it?
Ideally I'd like to build the ISO out of a partial debian mirror
generated using apt-move plus the main/debian-installer tree.
Has anybody tried something like this?
bye,
free
