Yes, I agree, but sometimes it is not possible to be a CDD (i.e. if you have to include non-free software or want special versions of the packages for whatever reason). Anyway I think that everything we are trying to do building a common CDD framework will benefit Custom Distributions *inside* Debian and derived projects. And talking about LinEx, I know that tomorrow they are going to have the *First gnuLinEx Developers Meeting* and they are going to present the first Beta of gnuLinEx 2004, based on Debian Sarge. I will not be able to attend, but I'll try to talk with some of the developers to know what they think about the things we are disscussing here. > > My idea is to have a debian set of tools that take a list of apt > > sources, a list packages and a set of config files and generate the > > LiveCD from that. > This is exactly what I tried to desccribe at > > http://people.debian.org/~tille/debian-med/talks/paper-cdd/debian-cdd.html/ch-todo.en.html#s-liveCD Yes, I've read it, but it is not exactly my proposal, your description has more manual work than mine, my idea was to leave all the configuration / customization tasks to the CDD tools. > > I know that it is not as simple as I've written it, but I think it is > > doable.

Is there any public mail with his arguments? I have not looked at the project, but if it's not the way to go I would like to know why. -- Sergio Talens-Oliag <sto@debian.org> <http://people.debian.org/~sto/> Key fingerprint = 29DF 544F 1BD9 548C 8F15 86EF 6770 052B B8C1 FA69
