[22:14] <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)
[22:15] <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
[22:16] <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
[22:17] <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
[22:19] <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
[22:24] <zduniak> what's interesting is that there are no errors in the syslog
[22:34] <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?
