What this will cause? The task will still show up in Tasksel, won't 
it? And if the user select that task what happens? Does I have to 
recompile tasksel?
How to do this? 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 ?

TIA

Pablo

(5) make packages
make upgrade
make md5list

In CONF.sh you configured this:-
# Path of the temporary directory
export TDIR=/ftp/tmp

This is the address of the file tree that is built into the iso images,
complete with Packages files.  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.
