PURPOSE: If I like a distro, it'd be nice to run a<br />program that builds a whole install cd. Then check checksums with<br />download CDs. This BSD build world process sounds rather good.<br /><br /><br />On 1/29/2014 10:51 AM, Patrick Goupell wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;"> If you mean something like "Debian Wheezy" then I download the iso and<br /> install that.<br /><br /> I then use the apt package manager to install desired programs.<br /><br /> I would never attempt to compile a "complete" distro myself.
