That's OK; with the exception of monolithic builds, partman is retrieved from the archive at run time. Not all of d-i goes into the initrd. > All I have been doing is > make all_build > > with sources.list.udeb.local set to point to unstable That's OK, but will get you the current daily rather than rc2. > Am I missing a step, or doing something wrong, the process for > downloading udebs not up-to-date, or something else? If you're using the cdrom initrd, perhaps you haven't constructed a CD with all the udebs to go with it in the form of an archive? debian-cd is what does this in Debian, although it's complicated to operate.
