| zduniak | hi guys, hopefully i'm on the proper channel. I'm creating a custom installation ISO for an Ubuntu-derived distro for deploying server edu solutions in low-connectivity settings (so it has to work fully offline) | 22:14 |
|---|---|---|
| zduniak | my initial approach (which has been working quite nicely over the last few months) was using the core installer and then adding a preseed with a bunch of commands / services to perform a partially online installation | 22:15 |
| zduniak | but now I need to pin the packages and bundle all the software in a way that it can be installed in the middle of a literal jungle, so I'm trying to replace the whole repository in the ISO with my custom repo with pinned versions generated using aptly | 22:16 |
| zduniak | I just replace dists / pool with what aptly generated (which is a perfectly valid debian repo), but when I try to run the installer, it doesn't seem to mount the cdrom (works just fine if i dont replace the repos) | 22:17 |
| zduniak | when i click continue and go into the shell, cdrom is mounted and all files are there | 22:17 |
| zduniak | could anyone familiar with installer's internals please help me? it feels like I am removing some package and the installer is failing silently | 22:19 |
| zduniak | what's interesting is that there are no errors in the syslog | 22:24 |
| zduniak | i see that cdrom-detect is missing in my repo | 22:34 |
| zduniak | is there some sort of a meta package for the installer? | 22:34 |
