 ian: you misunderstand (again).  by comparison of what you *believe*
i have said and what i have actually said, we may eventually make this
clear.

 let me be clear: i am not interested in "how to create some custom
version of the installer for this platform"

 i am interested in how to create debian installer *AT ALL*.  several
people have tried - very experienced people - and have completely
failed after following available documentation.

 there are absolutely no available step-by-step instructions.

 there is a basic and fundamental assumption that you already know
what you are doing.

 is that clear enough now?
