Building custom install CDs
I want to burn a CD which is -basically- debian, but has two or three
extra packages present and marked as necessary, and also runs a script
which changes which packages are and aren't selected (depending on
things such as the partition sizes) before it runs dselect. (It's for
a volunteer project to install linux on old computers and donate them
to people who wouldn't otherwise have a computer)
I probably also want to use a custom kernel, and pre-answer some of
the questions in the install script (eg: there'll never be any pcmcia
or scsi devices, or a lot of the other weird stuff, so not to ever ask
about it). Can I put extra 'info' screens into the install scripts
too?
Where do I find instructions about doing this type of stuff? I've
looked in the FAQ and 16.3 says it's -possible- but not how or where
to look for further info!!
