How do I configure debootstrap from within the businesscard cd? (Ultra minimal install)
[Initially posted on alt.os.linux.debian, no replies.}
I believe that one can trim down a standard debootstrap installation
(currently 180MB for sarge and over 230 MB for etch) hacking one of
the related scripts (eg: usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/sarge) and
modifying the 'base' variable, e.g.:
base="adduser apt apt-utils libdb4.2 at [... snip ...]"
As the debian-installer uses debootstrap, I have booted the business
card install cd and started a shell but couldn't find debootstrap or
any related scripts. But debootstrap-udeb has definitely such
scripts.
Where are they, and how can I access them?
I know I could trim the installation later with deborphan or
aptitude, but it wouldn't be fun. Any help appreciated.
