I think that the nature of what subprojects produce should ultimately be up to that project. Many CDDs will want to create live CDs. Some might not. That said, if what a large number of subprojects wants to do is similar (e.g., creating custom distros using package selection and custom package configuration) and we go about it in similar ways (e.g., a consistent form of package lists and low-priority debconf pacakges in the official debian packages adding the configuration customization we need) we can pretty easy describe or set up a common infrastructure to go from here to either d-i installable CDs or to bootable CDs using Morphix, Knoppix, debix, or whatever. What we need to do now is focus on the documenting those practices that have been successful and adapting them for wide application. > => We need tools to build an easily customizable Knoppix CD which > can be builded from scratch by using Debian-Mirror and Debian tools > exclusively. I'm not sure I agree although I would not be opposed to having these around. I am, of course, hugely in support of getting the tools necessary to build Morphix/Knoppix/debix fully within Debian to help pave the way for people that want to work toward goals like this. I think we should focus on documenting these processes that we have already first. Regards, Mako -- Benjamin Mako Hill mako@debian.org http://mako.yukidoke.org/
