Yes--it likely is. But what then does it comprise? That's what I mean by "exactly". I presume the following: - The CD must be bootable - An installation program (what's it called and where is the source?) - A Kernel with a few generic modules - Some base libraries for dynamic linking - A shell program - A program to login a user - A package management utility for install/uninstalling .deb packages Did I miss anything? And I am looking for specifics--the above list is not very specific.
