Well, I want to implment a system where by it is possible to extract a
subset of the Official Debian distribution for a specific profile. The
idea is to make it possible to create small footprint file sets suitable
for inclusion with other software e.g. on a magazine cover CD. For
Debian-Desktop the target is 98Mb - the size of a jazz drive. In
addition to reduced size I want to be able to create file sets with 8.3
names if required - not all magazines can support RockRidge long file
names.

I guess that may be a little late. We could hack together some scripts
before then as a bridge.
Thanks
