Create a LiveCD Organic Design procedure |
RemasterSys allows you to convert a Linux system into a LiveCD so that a replica of the system is easily installable by others. We'd like to package up our organicdesign-workstation and Ubuntu Post Install configurations into an installable DVD.
Preparing the source installation
The source installation is best as a fresh installation with the required packages installed from our repository. The source installation should be for 32bit architecture since that will also work for 64bit systems.
Building an ISO
Simple run the following command to create an ISO image. You may also wish to set some configuration options in /etc/remastersys.conf first.
remastersys dist
- download and install remastersys (it's a .deb).
- open remastersys from system/administration/remastersys, and then choose the backup option, this way, all your data, including the contents of home, bookmarks, homepage and customized options of the programs are included in the .iso. If you choose the dist option instead, all the programs will have the default settings and no personal info is stored.
- You will now have a .iso which can be burned to DVD in the usual way (it will probably be too big for CD).
