Hi,

There is an howto to install debian using the debootstrap. Usually you install a given distro content (desktop,...)

would you know how to install only fews specific debs (add some debs) using this type of debootstrap install?
Best regards

How do you intend to run this "custom installation".

To me that indicates an independent workable system of some sort installed on a drive.

If this is the case why not use a netboot install or a netinstall and then simply boot to the login (text) and install from there using apt-get or aptitude?

The netboot install is VERY small, netinstall very small.

What you basically get is a kernel (and all that includes), grub, a sources.list and the basic package management system.

Netboot install address';
Stable amd64 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/s...tboot/mini.iso
Stable i386 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/s...tboot/mini.iso

Testing amd64 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/t...tboot/mini.iso
Testing i386 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/t...tboot/mini.iso

This runs at about 21MB download for a bootable disk.

Net install address easy to find on the Debian Site. I always have trouble finding the netboot ones.
