[PLUG] Am I asking the "right question"

[Carl Karsten]

How is what you want different from booting the DVD?

or differint from debootstrap:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/debootstrap
https://www.debian.org/releases/potato/i386/ch-init-config.en.html
"dbootstrap is the name of the program which is run after you have booted
into the installation system. It is responsible for initial system
configuration and the installation of the ``base system''. "

Here is something close.
It contains just what is needed to install a minimal system, (what it
sounds like you want)
and then it's
the late_command does stuff you might want too:
apt install git ansible
git clone playbook
ansible ... which installs and configures the apps needed to make videos.

This script creates a bootable usb stick based on a 58M
hd-media/boot.img.gz
https://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/blob/nbpy/scripts/mk_usb_installer.sh
Most of the script is managing the ansible parameters.

The installer will search for an iso and use it as a local repo,
the script puts this on the same usb stick:
290M Dec  9 07:04 debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst
