Creating a customized Debian cd

[neuron]

Hello,

I want to create a linux cd based on debian sarge/stable, i want to have the packages that are now in update so as i wont need to update every time i install debian, because my network resources are scarce. in addition, i want extra packages such as OO2 from backport.org and some non-free packages such as acrobat reader, and a couple of other packages such as dhcp3d and tftp and extra files wich will be around 120 MB, i want to put these on one or 2 cds, how can i customize the debian cd1 for these changes?

im gathering the packages i need and download in one directory, its possible to simply use cd1 and then have a script on cd2 that does all the upgrades from cd2 , but im afraid that there will be rudundent packages (stable release ones and update ones) that will consume togather with the other packages more than what can fit on one cd.

so i think it would be better to replace the old ones on cd1, remove packages i know i wont need. add as many as i can to cd1, and put the rest on cd2.

ill be very greatful for any help, hints, urls ... :)

thank you in advance

Maybe the Knoppix Remastering stuff will help...

Thank you for the reply,

Reading the document, i hope it will work similarly for debian somehow! :)

This worked for me the one time i tried it.


EDIT: I may have misunderstood your post, but this is good to know anyway.
