Hello, I am trying to make a potato CD that contains only what is really necessary to install the base system in preparation for downloading the packages from the Net. Right now, I am experimenting with the pseudo-image-kit: I removed all lines referencing /dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ from the official binary-i386-1.list. The make-pseudo-image throws numerous generic errors at me. I am using the ftp method and the progress indicator in pseudo-image.log looks OK. So the errors might (or might not) be bogus. But assuming I end up with a complete pseudo image: Obviously, I can't run rsync against the official image. That would defeat the purpose. So, is the image created by make-pseudo-image going to be a valid ISO image? Is it going to be bootable? And most importantly: Is there a better way? I got the debian-cd package from CVS, but it seems somewhat inaccessible. I can't even figure out how best to create the local mirror that it requires. Is there any in-depth documentation on that somewhere? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Juergen
