You don't "build" CD images using only the installer. What you build using the CD target are only the initrd and kernel and isolinux configuration files that can be used in the creation of a real CD image (using e.g. debian-cd; the d-i wiki [1] has some alternatives). The mini.iso image built as part of the netboot target can be used to burn a CD with, but it behaves as a netboot image, i.e. no packages needed for the installation will be included on the CD, everything needs to be downloaded from the network. The gtk-miniiso target also creates a mini.iso, but one using the gtk/directfb graphical frontend instead of the newt one. Some of this is explained in: http://people.debian.org/~fjp/talks/debconf6/paper/ Cheers, FJP [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller
