Hello, I want to create and burn a CD containing a custom version of woody : no XWindow, no fancy apps, just the minimum to have a firewall running. I don't want to create a separate distro, just a stripped down version of woody that fits on one CD with a few packages that I would add myself (like pppoe).
I've read many things about debian-cd and the pseudo-image-kit, downloaded them, read the docs, etc. I think the pik won't be of use but debian-cd will. My problem is getting a woody mirror. I've tried debcdmirror and apt-move. * after 10 or so hours of apt-move working hard (my mrtg shows a fully used line) I only have 10Mb of .deb files. It seems like apt-move collects many packages and throws them away *afterwards*. I only have a 64k leased line so it takes QUITE a long time. * debcdmirror seems much more efficient (with rsync method) but I have two problems with it : - how to collect from 2 sources (us and non-us) - how can I know the correct trees I need (I only want .deb files, this is a simple regex, but should I take the /pool/ hierarchy ? what about install scripts, cdr-bootloader, etc.) ? Has anyone already played with debcdmirror/debian-cd ? I'd like to write a more complete doc but I need the info myself. If you know of documents I could read, I'd like to know also.
