Blends & CDD suggestions
Hi,
I reply to this list as suggested by Andreas Tille.
The fact is that Im working on a customized debian DVD and need these points to
be achieved:
- Change the default graphical theme. (GTK color + topbar image + boot dvd
background image)
- Customize Debian boot DVD menu.
- Add preceeding of some parts of D-I (user, partitionning, ...)
- Add a new task for our goals which mean adding new packages that are not in
debian and add lot of packages that are in debian (all listed in the task as
dependacies) and remove all other tasks so only the task I have done will be
abailable.
I had a look to several way to handle it like:
- building d-i from svn and using debian-cd.
- using a builded daily d-i and adding customizations.
- simple-cdd tools.
I want to keep it simple. What I need to do is not that huge so Im asking for
suggestions about how to handle this in an easy way, keep it simple and thus to
be able to generate quickly new versions.
Thanks.
Greetings.
