Can someone please tell me how to make a debian netinstall cd as a

customise a cd but I can't get it working. Any help is appreciated.
This (slightly outdated) guide [1] explains how it's done. Basically,
you
have to create a local mirror first as debian-cd cannot download any
packages
remotely when building a CD.
You should also manually build the debian-installer package from git
[2]
manually to make sure the kernel ABI version is correct [3]. The ABI
version
in debian-installer must always match the one from src:linux [4]. The
ABI
version is *not* the same as the package version which indicates the
upstream
kernel version.
Also, you will need to fix the ofpathname tool if you want to be able
to
install on a PowerMac [5] and then merge the changes in [6].
