Hi all,
First of all I'm new with building debian custom image and I'm
running trouble.
To start learning how to build a custom image I'm trying to generate
an .iso image from the original content of the
debian-509-i386-CD-1.iso. Here are the steps I go through to build my
image
*Step 1 : *
mount -o loop debian-509-i386-CD-1.iso /mnt
*Step 2 :*
cp -R /mnt/* /home/user/SourceCD/
*Step 3 :*
chmod -R 744 /home/user/SourceCD/
*Step 4 :*
Running the command below from /home/user/SourceCD/
genisoimage -o ../final_iso/test.iso -r -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
-R -J -v -T .
Finally I have a test.iso file I try it with KVM. I'm able to boot on
it, to launch install to choose language, keymap but when checking
the CD the installer says it cannot be used for installation.
Your problem is step 2. There's a directory .disk (containing metadata
for d-i) which needs to be copied too; try
cp -R /mnt/. /home/user/SourceCD/
instead.
