Dear all,

Trying a small project in building a customized Debian CD. Which build tool is easy to use. I have also downloaded the Debian repo, but setting it up as a local mirror is becoming hectic. Can someone please assist. Thanks

live-build.

you do not need to setup a local mirror, it can get what it needs from the public mirrors itself.

though I feel obligated to point out bug #718225 - some files (almost exclusively installer files) are downloaded without verification. using a local mirror would protect you from this, so long as it is verified when you set it up. it's not much of a concern if you opt to not include an installer though.
