Problems generating a minimal iso
Hi,
My goal is to create a minimal apt-enabled ISO (and net image) with no X. I'd like to strip it down us much as possible while leaving apt tools working.
I'm using lenny dist also. I followed instructions from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/HowTo/SmallSizeImage. I did some small changes (like including and removing packages). Here is what I'm doing:
sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get -y install live-helper
lh_config_minimal.sh
I'm getting the following error:
W: Unknown package list 'stripped'
...
E: couldn't find package unionfs-modules-2.6-686
The content of lh_config_minimal.sh is:
