This page explains how to remaster an Ubuntu LiveCD, step by step.
- install the Ubuntu Customization Kit
- download it from sourceforge and save it on the Desktop
- double-clic on it to automagically install the package and it’s dependencies
- take care of having about 5 GB available in your home directory, or make a link from
tmpin your home directory to some place having this required temporary space - except if you are ready to face bugs, skip the graphical method and use the command-line method
The graphical "not that easy" way
- run
uck-gui(from normal account command line): - choose some of the supported languages (eg:
en,frandvi) - choose some default language among them (eg:
vi) - choose the desktop environment (eg:
gnomefor Ubuntu,kdefor Kubuntu) - ...(face bugs)...
The command-line "easier than ever" way
- first you’ll have to correct something... oh, did I forget to tell you there is bugs?
- edit the file named
/usr/lib/uck/remaster-live-cd.shand comment the line 213, the one about “X authorization file in user directory” (to comment the line, simply put a hash sign (#) at the begining of the line) - extract this archive in a directory called
uck-ubuntu-vi(Warning: it’s still unfinished work!) - then run this:
sudo remaster-live-cd ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso uck-ubuntu-vi
...(more to come)...
