Re: working with debian cd
hi frans: in-target file is provided by di-utils udeb. but when i extract the pkgsel udeb ,i can see the postinc file but don't see the pkgsel.posint file. . is postinst the right one in which at the top i use set -x ?

Only thing I can suggest is debugging it by adding a "set -x" statement at the beginning of both: - /var/lib/dpkg/info/pkgsel.postinst - /bin/in-target After that /var/log/syslog should show you what happens.

FWIW, you can find my current hack (for Sarge's installer) in http://rapid.dotsrc.org/unstable/rapid-udeb_0.2.7_i386.udeb (its source is in the same directory.

Re: working with debian cd
Hi: Sorry for the typo. it's tasksel deb and not udeb. yes after using pkgsel udeb i can see "select and install software" in the debian installer main menu. But when i run it, nothing happens and exits to the debian installer main menu and cannot see the tasksel menu. What might go wrong? I am using the etch current installer. Thanks Paras.

There should be a pkgsel udeb which is shown in the menu as "Select and install software". The tasksel _deb_ is installed by debootstrap during base system installation in /target. The postinst script for pkgsel calls tasksel in a chroot on /target for the actual selection and installation of tasks. So, any tasks you create manually should be installed in /target after or as part of the installation of the base system, at least before pkgsel is run. Is that maybe where the problem is?

hi joey: Tasksel is working perfectly after doing what you have said. But my problem is tasksel is not working from the debian installer menu. I am trying to figure out from many days from now but couldnot find the problem. I have pkgsel udeb and tasksel udeb in my pool but don't know what is going on. Regards, Paras.
