If any of you happen to have a nice PXE boot environment for your custom distro, and think it will be a piece of cake to turn it into an install disc: it ain't that simple.
In the PXE environment, the components (main, etc) come from the seed file line d-i mirror/components but (and I had to read base-installer package source for this, the library.sh file) your CDROM install will get its components list from /cdrom/.disk/base_components Heaven forbid we use anything as crass as *consistency*. Sheesh. The other gotcha is that if you want your CDROM to automagically select the keyboard and country and language, you have to put it inside the initrd.gz file *and* into the isolinux/text.cfg kernel file= option. Now its bombing slightly further along. So, more gotchas to come. -- Regards Peter Miller <[email protected]> /\/\* http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/ PGP public key ID: 1024D/D0EDB64D fingerprint = AD0A C5DF C426 4F03 5D53 2BDB 18D8 A4E2 D0ED B64D See http://www.keyserver.net or any PGP keyserver for public key.
