simple-cdd questions

Hello everyone, 

I have used simple-cdd to make a install disk of some of my favorite
software for i386, how would I go about making a amd64 version of the
same CD? Is it possible to make a multi arch install CD using
simple-cdd?

One other thing, I would like to change the art work for the initial
start up screen to a custom one, how would you I go about doing this?
links to documentation would be appreciated. :)

Best regards
Charlie

using the same profiles, merely set the ARCH variable:

  echo export ARCH=amd64 >> profiles/default.conf

for multi-arch, set the ARCHES variable:

  echo export ARCHES=\"i386 amd64\" >> profiles/default.conf

try the SPASHPNG variable, although this may have changed with recent versions
of debian-installer.

good luck.

live well,
