Re: Adding packages to mini-gtk iso

[Lonnie Cumberland <lonnie@outstep.com>]

Hi Geert,

Thanks for getting back to me and for the link, but I was hoping that I could simply place the existing deb file in 

debian-installer/installer/build/localudebs

and then re-build the gtk mini.iso.

Just so that you will know, for this experiment I want to include the Virtualbox 6 and FreeRDP deb packages that I have locally (see above) in the building of the Debian Installer. If I can get them to install in the build then I want to next edit the installer script to do a couple of additional things.

This is an exercise in virtuilization to see if it is possible as a first step.

Cheers,

Lonnie

Yeah, I could be misunderstanding the question.

In that case my apology for not ignoring the top quoter.
