Debian-NP's bootable CD has (some) code in it that's not in Debian but I wouldn't say the work is categorically non-Debian since the *VAST* majority of data on the CD is pure debian.org debs. If were were adopting the attitude that Debian-NP BootCDs were non-Debian, we wouldn't have bothered removing non-free drivers from the Morphix CD we modified[1]. More importantly, I don't think it's worth dragging this discussion out. We have identical goals and I think that right now we should focus on those goals, and on accomplishing them, more than labels. > The goal has to be a clean Debian install and no Knoppix-like hack. I'm not claiming you disagree with this but I think that the goal should rather be to work within the Debian system to create a space for Custom distributions *and* bootable CDs (custom, vanilla, whatever) in a way that removes any need for Knoppix-like hacks.
