#170731 — New Distro

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I am totally confused on steps to achieve creating a new Debian Distro - my
requirement is that we need to create a new OS image where we just have
packages that are required.

Now is there a way where minimum packages details data is available - how
do we know what extra needs to be added - where and how can we find the
details.

Also how do we find dependent or can be required packages details. Say for
example Networking suites - I only know TCP/IP and pretty sure that only
including TCP package will just not be enough. Where can we know what
others to be included bot for our application and for debugging / analyzing
data?

Please assist me in my venture.

Regards,
Prakash

Presume you have installed what you want to have on the image. Last half of
your questions is answered. Just do dpkg -l and you have the list. Even
better use dpkg --get-selections 

The first question is also misleading. When you have the installation, the
way it should be, you just make a bootable iso out of it.

"An Easier Alternative

One possible "alternative" to this procedure is to use Simple-CDD. If it
does everything you need for your custom CD, then there is no reason
(except curiosity) to go through the rest of this article"

spent just  2 minutes in google and this is only the first hit.
please India spent more time reading. It is for free :)
