NO. _I_ put no non-free on the CD.

ok, I can use this.

I ckeck this and I will remove thinks. but:
- I don't make changes on the packages (like 'change task-tcltk to
depend on 8.3')! This is a snapshot from woody (only kde, gnome and
BF's are not from woody) and not a 'privat edition' with changes.
If you have problmes, submit bug reports

I know this. But this is Debian, this is woody and I don't like to
make a 'undebian' CD. If you Update a potato or if you install a woody
(with no changes in this area) at release time, you have to change
this file. If you don't like it, write bug reports or better make a
script in /usr/lib/base-config/ and send this to the libc6 maintainer.
> - libc6 wants to restart inetd because of NSS changes
ok, this is not nice. It is a 'update' problem (from the potato
BF-system to woody).
But if you change base2_2.tgz with this, you must build all bin's etc.
new and use the new lib. This is very critical. Should we use the
'testet' BF's on our CD or if we want it critical: should we use
woody-BF's?

IMHO you have use 'MD5'-password (the first base-config question) and
with this a 'change config file question is normal' and debian like.

this is a real Problem.
Now I don't use a override file. But I will test:
- put apt-utils and libterm-stool-perl as 'required base" in the
override file. I hope with this, this packages will installed with
tasksel...
BTW: - This problem is know. joeyh will maybe split apt-utils in to
package. One for debconf, and a second for the rest.
- the second is a apt problem! apt get alway only the 'Depends'
Packages and no 'Recommends' packages. And with this, all
packges are working, but not in the typically way.
from /usr/doc/maint-guide/maint-guide.txt.gz:
'Use this for packages that are not strictly necessary but are
typically used with your program.#
IMHO we must fix apt and make a 'Recommends' and 'Suggests'
Option ...

can someone write a TOP-Level-README with
- some Install problems
- some note about a live after the LTCD? (like apt-setup, apt-setup)
