Well, then perhaps the issue is not about how to find related CDD URLs, but which list to join? More general, what to do/how to solve these following issues. What should someone to do/learn/visit/join, if they do not understand quiet well, chapter 6 (Technology) of the "Custom Debian Distributions" main document? I guess, that the answer would be lurking here in the debian-custom list. I make (and burn) an ISO image every weekend for the last two years. The CDROM contains all recent updates of anything I would like to have on my PC at home, like: a. BOOT image --> rescue disk. b. up-to-date debian packages. I just write down all the package names that I want, and a script will collect all recent packages, including their dependencies. c. up-to-date linux related document including HOWTOs, debian documents, etc. Since I rsync them directly, the documents are usually more recent, compared to their related deb files. 1. Is that ISO image considered as a CDD? If not, what is that? 2. I am interested to make that ISO image by using debian tools and utilities. I guess that I should learn on how "debian-cd" works. Are there any other tools that are more appropriate? 3. I am interested to modify the boot utility, including replacing a boot kernel. I guess that I should follow the "debian-boot" list. Are there any other list that I should follow? 4. I am having problem for discarding obsolete packages. I am not sure on what utility I should use. I guess that there should be an "apt" tool that do that. 5. I also still have not a clear idea on how to get a source file that is EXACTLY related to the debian package that is fetched. Even I am not sure, what I mean here :(. Last, I am aware that actually my main problem is how to get/find more "spare time" :(. Well... regards, -- Rahmat M.
