How to create my Custom Distro!
HI!
Since Long time i have been trying to create some custom Linux distro! But it wasn't possible for me! Bu now i am having bit time so I am thinking of creating some custom linux distro of any OS like Ubuntu, Fedora, Puppy Linux etc or DSL(DAmn Small Linux)! Using any Disto would b fine and i want to customize it by Changing its name to my name, adding some extended graphics, some good icons and complete package in one live CD! I guess it would be a wonderful gift give to anybody - A complete On their Name. lol Please guide my by giving any tutorial so that i can create one! Thanks! |

Programs, drivers, themes etc.It can make a full system backup including personal data to a live cd or dvd that you can use anywhere and install. It can make a distributable copy you can share with friends. This will not have any of your personal user data in it. Install Remastersys in Ubuntu The Remastersys repository needs to be added to your /etc/apt/sources.list Code:
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list Code:
# Remastersys # deb http://www.linuxmint.com/repository romeo/ deb http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/repository remastersys/ Update the source list using the following command Code:
sudo apt-get update Code:
sudo apt-get install remastersys Using Remastersys In order to learn how you can use remastersys, run Code:
sudo remastersys sudo remastersys backup|clean|dist [cdfs|iso] [filename.iso] remastersys Examples 1) to make a livecd/dvd backup of your system Code:
sudo remastersys backup Code:
sudo remastersys backup custom.iso Code:
sudo remastersys clean Code:
sudo remastersys dist Code:
sudo remastersys dist cdfs Code:
sudo remastersys dist iso custom.iso Creating An ISO Image To create an iso image of your installation, simply run Code:
sudo remastersys dist /home/remastersys/customdist.iso is ready to be burned or tested in a virtual machine. Check the size and if it is larger than 700MB you will need to burn it to a dvd 796M /home/remastersys/customdist.iso Clean Up After you’ve burnt the iso image onto a CD/DVD, you can run Code:
sudo remastersys clean source:ubuntugeek.com I tested it myself and successfully remastered Kubuntu 8.04 using Remastersys. I can confirm it installs quite fast and is very easy. Remastered time for my Kubuntu and all my programs is 45min~1h (distributable copy) As an example, a 3G installed partition will compress from 1.0 to 1.5 Gig depending on what is on it. Obviously compressed files will not compress any further. The livecd/dvd will be a little bit bigger than the compressed file of the filesystem.
