+** Introduction
+
+This uses the simple-cdd package (available on the official Debian repository) to create a custom install CD for the master blade of the TRC6500 system's computing cluster. A number of components are installed automatically (either during install or on first boot) ; the CD also includes useful files for subsequent configuration.
+
+** What the built CD includes
+
+- a selection of useful/required packages
+- a selection of custom packages scarcely available elsewhere
+- unpacking of config files and scripts during install
+- automatic execution of some configuration options
+
+This CD does NOT create an usable operating system. All included systems should be reviewed, but particularly the network configuration (/etc/hosts, DHCP config), which is partly automated thanks to scripts provided by the TRC6500 exploitation software, which is NOT bundled with this CD.
+
+** What files we'll be using
+
+- simple-cdd.conf (name is clear enough) should be passed to the build-simple-cdd program
+- the entire profiles/ directory is used by build-simple-cdd
+- myrc.local is the script executed on first boot
+- the local_packages/ directory contains packages not available on the regular repository, or more recent versions of packages available there.
+- master.tar is an archive of the "master" directory on the debian6500 repository, unpacked during install (NOT PROVIDED)
+- TRC6500.pub is a GPG public key added to the OS's keyring during install, corresponding to a makeshift Debian repo from T. Pérennou
+- splash-thales.png is a 640*480 image used for the splashscreen
+
+The files marked (NOT PROVIDED) were not included. It's up to you to put them together.
+
+** How build-simple-cdd works
+
+The build-simple-cdd program is to be called like this :
+build-simple-cdd --dist wheezy --conf ./simple-cdd.conf
+
+Most options described in the documentation are included in the simple-cdd.conf file. The program will use those (in addition to the default settings) to build a list of what is to be included on the CD. Primarily, it includes itself, profile(s) scripts, and pulls packages (from the <profile>.packages list) from whatever repositories are in /etc/apt/sources.list, or from the ./tmp folder if the packages have already been fetched.
+
+Additional packages are to be put in the local_packages directory (which is specified in our ownsimple_cdd.conf). It should be noted that packages placed there simply join the pool of available packages : to actually include them on the CD, they should be added in an itself included profile's packages list (say, profiles/trc6500.packages). The list of packages added this way is :
+cpumon dce firmware-bnx2 libcalloc1 libcycle1 libdebug1 libmcore1 raf swb webconfig xcfe
+
+Additional files are included with the all_extras="<path>,<path>" option in our simple-cdd.conf file.
+
+You should look into the provided simple-cdd.conf file ! It is tailored to a quite specific use case, and making your own should be easy enough since the simple-cdd package contains a detailed config file.
+
+** Regarding install vectors
+
+To set up a bootable USB key :
+cp <iso file> /dev/<key> && sync
+<key> should be the device, not a partition of it. The key will get partitioned like the CD (and how the CD is partitioned is a whole other topic).
+
+To burn your ISO to a CD :
+xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 blank=as_needed <iso file>
+
+
+** Additional documentation
+/usr/share/simple-cdd
+/usr/share/doc/simple-cdd
+/usr/share/doc/installation-guide-amd64 (talks about preseeds)

+# default for mirror_tools is "wget reprepro". However, if we use reprepro, build-simple-cdd doesn't read the local_packages option, because it assumes reprepro has already built those into the mirror. But we're not building the mirror here, so we never actually get them. If we disable reprepro, it will actually look into local_packages.
+# Note that all this was because we were using the previously-built mirror in ./tmp instead of being connected to a repository like we'd normally do. If you don't do that just delete those things.
+
+# Packages that couldn't be included in the /tmp mirror, so we put them there instead
+local_packages="${working_dir}/local_packages"
+
+# we'll unpack that during install
+# for now, this includes : master.tar, myrc.local, TRC6500.pub, local_packages/firmware-bnx2
+# additionally, the bnx2 firmware is there because it resists being added to local_packages for some odd reason. So we'll install it by hand.
