Yes--it likely is. But what then does it comprise? That's what I mean by
"exactly". I presume the following:
- The CD must be bootable
- An installation program (what's it called and where is the source?)
- A Kernel with a few generic modules
- Some base libraries for dynamic linking
- A shell program
- A program to login a user
- A package management utility for install/uninstalling .deb packages
Did I miss anything? And I am looking for specifics--the above list is not
very specific.
