Uhm, above is almost correct: A "Debian Pure Blend" can be done using only preseeding. A "Debian Blend" (i.e. non-pure) can be involve things intended for Debian but not yet included.

But no matter what you choose to do, I wish you the best of joy, and expect that you will find help on this list if you run into problems or confusion - we are many that have tinkered with the kind of things you are now diving into :-) Regards, - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
