Creating Custom Built Debian 6 (Squeeze) Rumi, May 24, 2013May 24, 2013 There is a well documented official way to create standard Debian CDs. However, sometimes it is nice to have a CD or DVD which just contains a subset of Debian Packages to fit personal needs. The following script is made for creation of such a CD image. By default, it fetches all packages installed on the local computer from the configured apt package sources. Download the Shell Script from here- make-debian-cd Bevor running the script make sure all packages installed on your system are available for apt-get. If in doubt update the package repository and clear the apt cache by running # apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get clean Call the script with the -h flag to get all avaliable options: $ ./make-debian-cd.sh -h Usage: make-debian-cd.sh [Options] Options: -i Image name [debian-squeeze-20110528] -c CD-Rom mount point [/media/cdrom0] -s Selection [localhost] -v Installer version [current] -m Install dir medium [network] -d Debian mirror [http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian] -e Path to extra packages [.] -a List of additional packages (Comma separated) -O Don't use override files -I Don't include install dir -M Don't create CD image -V Verify CD image size before making the image Selection may be a text file generated by "dpkg –get-selections". Examples Example 1 Create an Debian installer CD image which contains all currently installed packages: $ ./make-debian-cd-etch.sh Note that the CD Rom will contain packages you probably would not install on a typical workstation or server, such as base-config and debootstrap. Example 2 Fetch the installer packages from CD-Rom instead of network mirror. Add all local packages found in the root of the specified directory: $ ./make-debian-cd.sh -m cdrom -e /home/debian/my-favorites-debs/ Example 3 Fetch the installer packages from CD-Rom instead of network mirror. Don't include the override files from the network mirror. Thus do not use the network at all while creating the CD-Rom image. $ ./make-debian-cd.sh -m cdrom -O Example 4 Do not include the installer packages. Prefer a local debian mirror to fetch the override files from. $ ./make-debian-cd-etch.sh -I -d http://local-debian-mirror/debian/ Example 5 Collect packages for several other hosts instead of the local one. Selection has been made by typing dpkg-get-selections on all hosts and combining it (uniq -s). Add extra packages not on the list. $ ./make-debian-cd.sh -s packages-all-hosts.txt -a pcmcia-cs,xteddy Src: http://jan.exss.de/debian-cd.html Related Configurations (Linux) Scripts Debian
