Hello, I tried one of those, had to do some hack for bf2.4. This I what I'm trying to do. I have a dump/restore image file or about 40 megs (cd #2) I boot with cd #1 w/ bf 2.4 and base only (but I need the dump/restore package on cd #1) and restore from cd #2 to the newly created filesystem.

Alternatively I wrote this little script that lets you put whichever debs you want on there. Tried it with the b-f2.4 flavour. With just the base debs on there the ISO is 31MB. It doesn't provide any way to automatically install non-base debs that are on the ISO, but you can always apt-get install them once the system is up.
