Ok, so I tried remastering a lenny business card iso. I created an etch
repository (from the etch r3-kde cd I've been using), and using preseeding
to define the apt repos.
# Additional repositories, local[0-9] available
d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string \
deb file:/ads/repo/ /
d-i apt-setup/local1/repository string \
deb file:/ads/etch/ stable main contrib
Where repo is a repo for our developed packages and etch is the standard etch
release. My thinking was that specifying the suite, apt should be able to
figure out to pull packages from the local etch repo.
But my problem is when I boot the lenny modified image, I'm getting not a
This cd contains a CD which cannot be used for installation.
All I did was add a /ads directory with the 2 repos and a preseed file. Then
regenerated the md5sums and remastered with
mkisofs -o /home/ryan/w2/lenny-test.iso -r \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -D -c isolinux/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table /home/ryan/lenny
This process has always worked on etch cd remasters I've done. Unless I
missed a step somewhere. Either that or I need to lookup how cd-detect is
working.
