Is there documentation about that?
I have an older wiki page for creating installation images for Debian Ports:
https://wiki.debian.org/PortsDocs/CreateDebianInstallerImages
The first steps were easy enough. These days, you need --enable-network
in your call since the installer build process wants to pull things from
a mirror, and --no-run-lintian is going to speed things up for not
getting warnings that you can't fix in the Installer anyway.
But when I boot mini.iso, the udebs still come from the official mirror,
which kind of defeats the purpose since I am building the installer to
try a patched partman-base with it.
Do I really have to go through debian-cd, or can I have my mini.iso
"download" the udebs from a local directory? I mean there must be a
reason for that local_udebs directory in the installer tree, it is not
there to just be ignored, is it?
Greetings
Marc
