I've been pretty successful in starting with an install CD from
http://instalinux.com and customising it from there.  Currently building my
own udeb to do partitioning (instead of partman) which will be tres cool.

I don't know if instalinux have Dapper images yet... haven't checked back
there in a couple of weeks, and the place I'm doing this for is still
working on upgrading a lot of it's Sarge+etchbits systems, so cutting edge
isn't such a big thing for them... <grin>
