Introduction
This page describes the steps used to create a custom boss install cd using a partial mirror. The instructions here work for i386 architecture.
Instructions:
Step 1: Getting your Packages
Part I: Getting your Base System
* Download a BOSS install cd from here Download
* Use this install cd and install BOSS on some computer.
* Copy the install cd to the filesystem where you'll be doing your work (e.g. /opt/bosscdd).
Part II: Getting Additional Packages
* Use aptitude or AptGet to download the packages you want on the system and cd.
* Get AptMove (e.g. apt-get install apt-move)
* Modify apt-move.conf to use your pool directory as its local mirror (LOCALDIR)
* AptMove your other packages to your pool directory (e.g. /opt/bosscdd/pool) by typing: apt-move update
Alternate Method:
Step 2: Get DebianInstaller and udebs
Option 1:
Make sure you're using the right versions of the udebs, especially kernel, for the installer. You have been warned.
1.Download installer-i386 from a BOSS mirror (e.g. http://packages.bosslinux.in/boss/dists/tarang/main/installer-i386/current)
2.You should have the correct udebs in your tree if you have downloaded the installer-i386 from the same distribution as your BOSS install cd
Option 2:
1. Build DebianInstaller (which also downloads udebs). See DebianInstaller/Build.
2. Copy udebs to your pool directory
Step 3: Get overrides..*
1. Download /boss/indices/overrides..XXX.gz for your distro
(e.g. for tarang,/boss/indices/overrides.tarang.main.gz) into the
directory indices which is in the same root directory as your pool (mirror)
directory (e.g. /opt/bosscdd/pool, so /opt/bosscdd/indices).
2.Gunzip the overrides, keeping the compressed files.
Step 4: Generate Packages.gz and Release files for your 'distribution'
• generate DebianInstaller packages files:
• DebianInstaller lives indists/main/debian-installer/binary-i386
• So create the appropriate subdirectories
(e.g. mkdir -p /opt/bosscdd/dists/sarge/main/debian-installer/binary-i386).
• in a directory (e.g. custom-cd-scripts) for your scripts and config files for this project
place the following apt.conf:
APT {
FTPArchive {
Release {
Origin "boss-cd";
Label "tarang";
Suite "testing";
Version "2.0";
Codename "tarang";
Architectures "i386";
Components "main contrib";
Description "BOSS CD Set";
};
};
};
• And the following customcd-di.conf (creating the directories described therein, as necessary):
Dir {
ArchiveDir "/opt/bosscdd";
OverrideDir "/opt/bosscdd/indices";
CacheDir "/opt/bosscdd/tmp";
};
TreeDefault {
Directory "pool/";
};
BinDirectory "pool/main" {
Packages "dists/tarang/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages";
BinOverride "override.tarang.main";
ExtraOverride "override.tarang.extra.main";
};
Default {
Packages {
Extensions ".udeb";
Compress ". gzip";
};
Contents {
Compress "gzip";
};
};
• ArchiveDir is the parent directory of your pool and dists subdirectories
• OverrideDir is the directory which contains your overrides
• CacheDir is your temporary (cache) directory.
• Under TreeDefault, Directory indicates the location of your pool (archive) directory
• The path in quotes after BinDirectory (and before the curly brace), is the location, relative to
ArchiveDir of the binary packages (well actually the alphabetic directories, which have the package directories under them).
• Under BinDirectory, Packages is the full pathname of the Packages (without .gz even if you are creating
compressed files) file you are creating (in this case the debian-installer Packages.gz).
• execute the command in the directory containing the pool and dists directories
apt-ftparchive -c custom-cd-scripts/apt.conf generate custom-cd-scripts/customcd-di.conf
• Repeat for the binary-i386 directories (under main, contrib, non-free):
• using the following customcd.conf instead of customcd-di.conf:
Dir {
ArchiveDir "/opt/bosscdd";
OverrideDir "/opt/bosscdd/indices";
CacheDir "/opt/bosscdd/tmp";
};
TreeDefault {
Directory "pool/";
};
BinDirectory "pool/main" {
Packages "dists/tarang/main/binary-i386/Packages";
BinOverride "override.tarang.main";
ExtraOverride "override.tarang.extra.main";
};
BinDirectory "pool/contrib" {
Packages "dists/tarang/contrib/binary-i386/Packages";
BinOverride "override.tarang.contrib";
ExtraOverride "override.tarang.extra.contrib";
};
BinDirectory "pool/non-free" {
Packages "dists/tarang/non-free/binary-i386/Packages";
BinOverride "override.tarang.non-free";
ExtraOverride "override.tarang.extra.non-free";
};
Default {
Packages {
Extensions ".deb";
Compress ". gzip";
};
Contents {
Compress "gzip";
};
};
• Generate Release file:
• execute the following command in the directory containing the pool and dists directories
apt-ftparchive -c custom-cd-scripts/apt.conf release dists/tarang >dists/tarang/Release
Step 5: Install and Configure debian-cd
1. Download and install the debian-cd package (e.g. apt-get install debian-cd)
2. cd /usr/share/debian-cd and edit CONF.sh
3. A sample CONF.sh is reproduced below:

Step 6: The Remainder of the debian-cd Procedure
* Start a new shell (e.g. bash)
* Source CONF.sh, e.g. by typing:
. CONF.sh
* make distclean
* make mirrorcheck-binary (and make mirrorcheck-source if you need sources)
o If there are any missing dependencies, download them into your pool directory, regenerate your
packages file, and start the debian-cd part of this procedure over again.
* make status
o This should never fail. If it does you're best determining what went wrong, but if you insist
you can try make correctstatus
* make bin-list TASK=tasks/BOSS-Tarang-New-list
o This generates a binary only distribution. If you want sources as well you will need to modify
the entire procedure somewhat, as I haven't tried that yet (so far this procedure has been
developed for the author and not distribution).
* make bootable
o Makes the binary cd(s?) bootable.
* make bin-md5list
o Create the md5 checksums so that the cd can be verified.
* make bin-images
o Actually makes the cd
* make imagesums
o the md5 checksum for the actual cd images
* Burn it/them.

directory indices which is in the same root directory as your pool (mirror)
directory (e.g. /opt/bosscdd/pool, so /opt/bosscdd/indices).
2.Gunzip the overrides, keeping the compressed files.
Step 4: Generate Packages.gz and Release files for your 'distribution'
• generate DebianInstaller packages files:
• DebianInstaller lives in
• So create the appropriate subdirectories
(e.g. mkdir -p /opt/bosscdd/dists/sarge/main/debian-installer/binary-i386).

place the following apt.conf:

Label "tarang";
Suite "testing";
Version "2.0";
Codename "tarang";
Architectures "i386";

Description "BOSS CD Set";
};
};
};
• And the following customcd-di.conf (creating the directories described therein, as necessary):
Dir {
ArchiveDir "/opt/bosscdd";
OverrideDir "/opt/bosscdd/indices";
CacheDir "/opt/bosscdd/tmp";
};

• ArchiveDir is the parent directory of your pool and dists subdirectories

apt-ftparchive -c custom-cd-scripts/apt.conf generate custom-cd-scripts/customcd-di.conf
• Repeat for the binary-i386 directories (under main, contrib, non-free):
• using the following customcd.conf instead of customcd-di.conf:
Dir {

ExtraOverride "override.tarang.extra.non-free";
};
Default {
Packages {

Contents {

• Generate Release file:
• execute the following command in the directory containing the pool and dists directories
apt-ftparchive -c custom-cd-scripts/apt.conf release dists/tarang >dists/tarang/Release

Step 6: The Remainder of the debian-cd Procedure
* Start a new shell (e.g. bash)
* Source CONF.sh, e.g. by typing:
. CONF.sh
* make distclean
* make mirrorcheck-binary (and make mirrorcheck-source if you need sources)
o If there are any missing dependencies, download them into your pool directory, regenerate your
packages file, and start the debian-cd part of this procedure over again.
* make status
o This should never fail. If it does you're best determining what went wrong, but if you insist
you can try make correctstatus
* make bin-list TASK=tasks/BOSS-Tarang-New-list
o This generates a binary only distribution. If you want sources as well you will need to modify
the entire procedure somewhat, as I haven't tried that yet (so far this procedure has been
developed for the author and not distribution).
* make bootable
o Makes the binary cd(s?) bootable.
* make bin-md5list
o Create the md5 checksums so that the cd can be verified.
* make bin-images
o Actually makes the cd
* make imagesums
o the md5 checksum for the actual cd images
* Burn it/them.
