Custom CD pain



Hi all

Firstly, sorry if this is the wrong list - please do flame me in the right direction if it is.

I'm trying to make sense of http://wiki.debian.org/DebianCustomCD but I simple can't.

Between the conflicting tasks defined there, large chunks of random code spam, and the absolutely tragic use of English, I'm completely at my wits end with regards to deciphering the process of generating a customised install CD.

I searched this list archive for something too, however most of the responses point to dead links and equally irrelevant looking information.

I have some custom packages, and a dependency chain. I can apt-move it into a big pool along with the install CD pool. All I want to do is bundle that into a Debian install CD for people.

What comes next? There is some blabbering about "installer-i386" (which should be clearly labelled as the 'debianinstaller' package really), and following that there is some (to put it politely) incoherent talk of udebs, installer-i386 (AGAIN) and overrides.

Is Simple-CCD the tool to use? If so, can that horrendous DebianCustomCD article just be binned so it isn't the first thing to come up on Google?

Regards,
