Re: Q: How to rebuild d-i or initrd?



Hi, I am also wanting to rebuild the debian-installer as I am totally blind and would like to build a version that automatically starts speakup on boot rather then having to press a letter as sometimes I am not always sure when the drive stops spinning so most of the time I am successful but not all of the time.  Also having the ability to set the proper volume and speech rate as well as what language espeak uses by default would be a very nice thing to document.  On my desktop system that is 32 bit I like the feature where the pc speaker beeps but how in my local copy of the debian-installer can I just configure all of the targets to beep if a built in pc speaker is installed as I read about the configuration leaves or so they call it but to make a change across the entire local copy of the debian-installer so they all do the same thing I am not sure where to look.  On my 64 bit system there is no pc speaker that can beep but the sound card is detected properly so I do get speech and my next question is can I build a 32 and a 64 bit debian-installer on either system even if the 64 bit debian-installer won't run on the 32 bit system?  Nick Gawronski

I made a replacement for rootskel-gtk, using the previous version rootskel-gtk_1.27_amd64.udeb as the source, with a higher version number. I've changed the theme and the logo.

I've been told that the way to have the d-i use this new version is to rebuild d-i (preferably) or
the initrd (at least).

My question is, how do I rebuild the d-i and then how do I incorporate the new d-i in my build?

Cheers
