Chinese etc will be displayed. There will be a broken installation of the tasks if an attempt is made to install them. IMO, the easiest way remove unwanted tasks for a special CD would be to build the file tree for the CD and remove the unwanted tasks from the Task: field in the Packages (and Packages.gz) files. Then build the iso image. Phil. -- Philip Charles; 39a Paterson Street, Abbotsford, Dunedin, New Zealand +64 3 488 2818Fax +64 3 488 2875Mobile 025 267 9420 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - preferred.

I am doing: (1) make distclean (2) make status (3) make bin-list SIZELIMIT=61000 TASK=tasks/custom EXCLUDE=tasks/exclude.list (4) make bootable (5) make bin-image Where does I have to edit Packages? Can I solve this with indices/override.woody.main ?

These are the files you need to modify. Then build your iso images using mkisofs. If you can write a script that would do this automatically (sed?), I for one would find it very useful.

I beleive so; it certainly used to be the case that tasksel would only display tasks for which it found Task: lines in the Packages file, and those lines are as a result of entries in the override.woody.extra.main.gz file (and similar for contrib, etc). So, if you strip entries from those files for tasks you don't want, all should be well. Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
