By hand last I heard, which was for the LinuxTag. Buts that was probably
D-I's fault and not debian-cd's.

I need different kernel images (building them atm), different
ramdisks (those debix will build via debix-imager), and the normal
ramdisk or a full live filesystem as loopback file on the CD.
I hope I can use debian-cd to create the actual CDs and make them
bootabel. I would hate to do the bootloader stuff for alpha, mips,
.... all over again.
Is there some documentation about intelligent hooks in the cvs?
By the way, does debian-cd need root to build the ramdisk or is that
provided as image by boot-floppies/D-I? Can't rememer.
