Re: Re-Brand Debian Name to Custom Distro Name in GRUB on 1st Install

Dear Sir, I have stopped using Debian Installer, due to branding issues. I am building my latest distro with Calamares Installer. If you need I can share code to include Debian installer as well as calamares Installer. 
Please have a look at ezNIX at SourceForge. He is an all around great guy, who extends full support. His ezOS is fully documented, there you will find code to include both Debian and Calamares Installers. He is not interested in making a distro, just a respin of Debian, so he does minimal rebranding. 
Hope this helps.. I am available for any queries in my humble capacity as a Debian Enthusiast.

Hi Pak,

Good to know you are facing the same problem as we have back in Ghana. You have made much more progress. We are still struggling with building the debian-installer. We always get debootstrap error: "Failed to determine the codename for the release." at the step "install the base system" after the partitioning.

Can you please share with us how you managed to overcome that. Thank you

Hello All, 
I have been trying to change name of my custom Distro from Debian as per these guidelines:


However despite changing output of lsb-release, /etc/issue and related files , when ever I do a fresh install of my OS, its always Debain. 
However, if I install a new OS on another partition, my old installed OS is correctly reconginez as PakOS(name of my custom Distro). 
Please help, any idea where Grub is getting Debian name on 1st time installation. 
Thanks in advance for your help.
