Installing Debian From Scratch (NewsForge)
NewsForge
covers Debian From Scratch installation. "DFS started last
summer when John Goerzen, a long-time Debian developer and author of
several books on Debian and Linux, found himself faced with two problems at
the same time. He wanted an installer for Debian's AMD64 port, and a rescue
CD that would support filesystems like Reiser4 that are not available in
the standard Debian rescue set. (The new Debian-Installer has since made
DFS's AMD64 installer unnecessary.) A bootable CD, he decided, would solve
both problems. Modifying an existing bootable CD such as Knoppix seemed too
complex, so he developed his own."
