Hi there, thanks for taking the time to respond. Basically, I would
like to produce a very minimal CD as a building block for those who like
to build a custom Debian system. The first time I tried to install a
custom Debian system, I did a minimal installation, and then went on
installing exactly the packages I wanted from the command line. But I
found it difficult at first to get my internet connection working and my
sources and apt options configured via the command line. So, I would
like to be able to download a small live CD from the latest Debian
packages that just has Xorg, openbox, pcman filemanager, a WiFI
connection manager, and leafpad text editor. I would like to have the
live installer enabled too. That way, people can download a very small
ISO (should be less than 100 MB), and use that as a building block for
whatever system they want. And their custom system will only have the
packages they want to install. Yes, this could be done from the regular
installer CDs, but usually the user ends up downloading the ISO and not
using most of the packages on it if he does a custom install. And why
not just the net install CD? Because a lot of people (like myself) only
use wireless connections, or they need graphical programs to get basic
stuff like internet connections and source lists configured.
Thanks!
