Re: Beginner guidance sought - creating my own boot environment based on the Debian installer

[Mark Bettles <alo0taoranges@gmail.com>]

HI Groeten,

I am looking to create something new, but I'll explore the available options to see how they work.

As I am the most familiar with Debian, and I consider the ncurses based installer to be the best at preseeding, so it makes sense to use that as a foundation for what I wish to create.

Thank you for the information.

Mark
