Re: Q: How to rebuild d-i or initrd?



Unfortunately, I'm inexperienced in building packages, I'm still learning. I'm hoping there might be a step-by-step processs I could follow?

I only have a couple of tasks to do to complete my distro, so far only a private distro, and a learning experience for me.

Check out debian-installer, put the udeb into localudebs and run `make
build_netboot' should do the trick. Remember to use `make
rebuild_netboot' from then on. You can check the MANIFEST to see if your
(luckily higher versioned) udeb was included.
