by default, it will pull in whatever distribution debian-cd pulls in by
default. you can set any environment variable that debian-cd supports in
simple-cdd.conf- to change the distribution pulled in, you may want to
set the CODENAME variable (be sure to do so before the line that sources
debian-cd's CONF.sh).
Sorry for late reply but I'm in a hurry here. I tryed to build up simple-cdd under etch but I've found some interesting problems. Here the following error after build-simple-cdd run:
/usr/bin/mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory 'isolinux'!
make: ** [bin-image] Erro 255
The most interesting part of this is isolinux directory and files already exist. I have no idea why this exception occurs so I made a search into build-simple-cdd file and I've found implicit declarations of _sarge_ word. Here is the quoted part of the file:
cd $BASEDIR/tools/boot/sarge
cat boot-i386 | sed -e 's/TIMEOUT 0/TIMEOUT 5/g' > boot-i386.new && \
chmod +x boot-i386.new && \
mv -f boot-i386.new boot-i386 || echo "WARNING: timeout could not be set."
