It would be nice. But how could I do this?

This is my intention, to do things inside Debian. I'm just customizing
Debian to my CDD. I always avoid reinventing the wheel, when the wheel
is working very nicely. I just reinvent it when I can do better or when
I just want to learn. :)

Well. My intention is to make a distribution which is easy to end users
in Brazil, in a way that they can just install it with the default
options and get the system working alright. But also, I want to provide
some packages required by a government program which cuts taxes for
computers sellers. So, if a manufacturer sells a computer with my future
CDD installed on it, they don't have to pay all the usual taxes for this
selling.

Yeah! My bad. :P

The problem is: I don't know how to use debian=installer yet. But don't
worry, I'm in the beggining, there's too much to learn yet.

Yes. I already tried it before, but I need to try more, because I had a
very little experience with Debian-BR CDD. You say they are reinventing
the wheel, tell me why (your opinions about it). I don't want to fall
into the same mistake.

Thanks for the help. You are clarifying many things to me. :)
