I have downloaded debian netinstaller: wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
I have unpacked the image, and I was looking around to try to understand how it works. I assumed, there was some config file with a list of all the packages that are going to be installed. I would like to modify that list, and replace systemd with sysvinit-core. I don't see any such package list in the installer, and I could not find much information on how the installer works. Could somebody please help me understand, where the installer gets the list of packages it installs ? And how I can change that list? PS: I know I can remove systemd and install sysvinit-core *after* the installation. But I am trying to avoid installing systemd and then removing it. I would like to install sysvinit-core right away. I am also using preseeding for installation, but as far as I know, this cannot be achieved with preseeding alone. thanks,
