I added some packages to my DSL 3.3 iso image. The packages are copied onto the image and their installation is started with some simple bash scripts. (There are several Remaster howtos in this forum that show you, how you can add files to your image.)

Using scripts that are called from .xinitrc the packages are installed every time my installation boots (mydsl-load is used for that.).

If you would start DSL from a CD, packages could be installed automatically, if they are in a certain directory (/tmp I suppose).
This mechanism does not work with pxe. Therefore I had to use the scripts. For details see this thread: see here


The iso-image I converted to a pxe file as desribed in this howto.
