It's a complex algorithm. :) Basically, just check tasks/Debian_sarge as a starting point. We try to include on the first CD all packages listed in a "Task" (tasks/task-essential-sarge, tasks/task-full-sarge), all packages required by debootstrap (tasks/base-sarge), and generally speaking the most common packages (as defined by the popularity contest, tasks/popularity-contest-sarge). On the other hand we have an exclude mechanism because some packages get included for other reasons (standard priority for example) and we don't want them on the first CD (tasks/exclude-sarge) but they may be reintegrated somewhere else (tasks/unexclude-CD2-sarge). Those two "features" need some specific environment variables set at build time and thus those files may have been not used to build the sarge image available ... We also have a custom "must-have" list: tasks/forcd1 Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog -+- http://www.ouaza.com Formation Linux et logiciel libre : http://www.logidee.com Earn money with free software: http://www.geniustrader.org
