I managed to remaster a the sarge netinst CD following the hints on http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerModify, w/o changing d-i or the kernel. I just added packages in an "extra" directory using apt-move. Unfortunately, apt does not see the packages in the extra directory. The automatically generated entries in /etc/apt/sources.list are:

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Sarge_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1
(20050210)]/ extra/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Sarge_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1
(20050210)]/ unstable contrib main

If I change the first entry into a file entry it seems to work, so I assume that my extra directory is not broken somehow.

Is there a something, I might have forgotton? Does apt have problems with multiple directories on one CD?

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Btw. why does the second line say "unstable", not "testing"?
