When I first read about cddtool (and got a small glimpse of its proposed features), I thought it would be almost exactly what I need. I will summarize what I need currently: I need a tool which allows to create a (set of) CD(s), where I am able to specify in one way or the other: - A selection of menu texts for the installation boot CD - A kernel or number of kernels to include for the boot CD - the packages available, the packages to definitely install - debian-installer/debconf preseed file(s) - a script each to run at various points during installation, this may be solvable through debconf preceeding: - pre debian-installer - pre partitioning - pre formating - pre base install - post base install (pre reboot) - pre task/package selection - pre package installation - post package installation (just before final system is passed to user) - possibly an alternate d-i frontend - additional files (and packages) to include on the CD so that it can be used by d-i or its alternate frontend - possibly what the CD is running before d-i is started (such as running debxconfigurator && dexconf && X) Is there any such thing? To be honest, I find the documentation I found on the net quite difficult to understand and follow. cu, sven
