View 1 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Creating Custom Fedora Install/Live Media
Oct 17, 2009I've recent begun to want to create a spin of Fedora for my high school to offer as an alternative to Mac OS X and Windows. My first attempt with any distro was to try and use Suse Studio, however nothing with packages that I downloaded myself would successfully compile. I then thought that I might try and use some sort of local program do create it with and tried Revisor, however when I made Live Media, Xorg wouldn't start and when I made DVD Install Media the kernel would kernel panic every time on boot.
Is there anyway to solve the problem with Revisor or are there any alternatives?
I have also tried using Ubuntu with the Ubuntu Customization Kit however that didn't work either considering I have to have it in a virtual machine.
Ubuntu :: Creating Custom Live Cd?
Mar 6, 2010I am in the tasks section of the following tutorial [URL] I did the list package thing to see what packages there are. However now I cannot leave the list in order to run the purge command. How can I get back to the previous section so I can remove packages from the custom live cd. I want to make sure I am editing the live cd and not the current install. I am going to make two images. One cd that will still have a gui but I plan to build as a recovery tool. The other one is a dvd and will be for installing everything I want on any machine. I am doing the tutorial with Karmic. Also I have cursors, themes and icons I installed from gnome look. I then went to customize and created my own personal mix I like. I would like to make this a standalone theme and come as the default theme on the live cd and dvd. I have no clue what I am doing, however wish to learn to build my own custom live cd. Also I would like to know how to ad repositories to the live cd and how to add programs pre installed that are not usually included.

Jul 12, 2011i feel like this is a stupid question as i have seen many different ways to make a debian live cd, but the only way i understand is remastersys.i am trying to make a snapshot of my own debian unstable (sid) to be capable of re-distribution. remastersys will ONLY work on ubuntu, lenny, and squeeze.if anyone knows of any relatively simple tools i could use or could write an easy how too that would be very much appreciated. i am attempting to stray away from ubuntu and ubuntu based distros and use debian instead, although i cant find any distribution based on debian that i really like (maybe linux mint debian edition based on debian testing), but i really want the software right out of unstable (sid) and i would like to be able to make a distribute-able snapshot for myself and others that may be interested. (xfce + compiz + others, hopefully plymouth, out of the box). i have made some very good headway on this, but i dont know how to make a live cd out of an installed system without remastersys.
View 14 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: Creating A Custom Live CD
Feb 24, 2016I'd like to create my own custom Debian live CD — the idea being to have my own rescue CD with my favorite Debian tools installed. I read about bootcd and was going to give that a try, after creating the ideal system in a qemu virtual machine.
How much exactly can you install on a system so that bootcd can still fit it on a CD? I'm presuming there is some kind of compression involved. When I tried to create my VM, I coudln't get Jessie + LXDE to install onto a 2GB virtual drive (net install) so naturally I'm wondering what I'm going to be able to put on a 700MB CD.
General :: Dd Command Not Working While Creating Live USB
Feb 5, 2011I want to create a Live USB ..I have the ISO image in the hard disk
Where Sdb is my USB
The copy operation is okay...It says no of records in / out and gives the statistics
But when I boot the system , getting the error:
Boot :
In some cases , the USB itself is not recognized by BIOS at boot..
My BIOS supports boot from USB ..I have Boot order 1. CD/DVD 2. USB 3. HDD
Also what is the filesystem to be adopted for dd?
I usually format using FAT or FAT 32
1.mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb -I (or)
2.mkdosfs /dev/sdb (or)
3.mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sdb
What is the correct way of partitioning USB drive? - FAT or FAT 32....Most Live USB creators (unetbootin/LiLi Live/Usb Creator) recognize only FAT32...
I dont want a Linux filesystem (ext2,ext3 or 4or reiserfs)for my USB as it is not portable across many systems as MS OSes do not read them..Also I had little success in booting a USB when I partitioned it using ext2..I read somewhere that ext2 will not reduce the life of the USB drive compared to other fs.
Debian Installation :: Creating A Live USB (Not Booting On EeePc)
Apr 8, 2016I'm trying to rebuild an old laptop, EeePc 1001PX and I've issues to boot on the usb on it.
I've followed [URL] .... and the only way I manage to make a usb key that will boot is by hd-media/boot.img.gz:
Code: Select all# zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdb
# mount /dev/sdb /media/usb
# cp /tmp/debian-8.4.0-i386-CD-1.iso /media/usb
# sync
# umount /media/usb
I managed to install Debian using this technique to build the usb key.
However I'm having an issue on the laptop with the wifi card (Atheros AR9285) and after a night trying to make it work I'd like to check if I'd would have the same issue Ubuntu.
So I've been desperately trying to make a bootable usb key with Ubuntu on it.... It boots on my laptop but not on this EeePc...
I've tried:
Code: Select allcat /tmp/myimage.iso > /dev/sdb
Code: Select alldd if=/tmp/myimage.iso of=/dev/sdb && sync
I've installed multibootusb [URL] ... and liveUsb install [URL] .... which doesn't work on my EeePc...
Wh only this technique of using is hd-media/boot.img.gz is working on that laptop?
I'd like to try to install Ubuntu via grub using a partition [URL] .... but I need to create 2 partitions and so to boot on a external system.
I've downloaded gparted-live-0.25.0-3-i686.iso but like with Ubuntu I don't manage to create a bootable USB key for this crappy EeePc.
Debian :: Creating Custom Live DVD Including All Packages
Apr 23, 2010I want to create a LiveDVD with lots of packages that do not exist in repos. Stuff that I built from source...
OpenFOAM with my own customized solvers and utilities, Tetgen, Netgen ,GMSH with OpenCascade support, BRL-CAD, Code-Aster, Salome Platform, Code Saturne, FreeMat, K3d...
Some of these apps have been compiled with Intel development toolbox, icc/ifort/mkl. Mainly scientific/Engineering stuff. How do I include all these packages in a custom Live Build...?
Ubuntu Installation :: Creating A Live CD That Refers To Repository Mirrors?
Feb 25, 2010OK. I've successfully mirrored the Karmic Koala repositories. Now I have, and will have as time goes on, various computers I'll want to install Ubuntu on and point at the repository mirrors (Karmic now, Lucid later). Can I create a modified Live CD that will set up out computers from the beginning with /etc/apt/sources.list pointing at our mirrors, so we don't have to edit it later or tell people to edit it later? I've looked around and not found instructions on how to do it so far.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Creating Custom Live CD - Unable To Find Medium
Feb 16, 2011I am trying to create a custom Ubuntu live CD according to this guide [URL]. First of all I wanted to test how mkisofs utility works so I copied the content of the live CD to /tmp/bootcd directory and create an ISO image. I ran the following commands
Code:
sudo rsync -av /media/CDROM/* /tmp/bootcd/
cd /tmp/bootcd
sudo mkisofs -r -V "Ubuntu9.10" -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o ../ubuntu-9.10.iso .
If I understand it correctly, the same image as the source one should be created. When booting the Ubuntu boot menu appears and I choose "Try Ubuntu without installing.." It gets stuck after a while with this message "Unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem".
CentOS 5 :: Creating A Simple Live CD That Executes A Shell Script?
Mar 9, 2010I would like to a build a CD image (of CentOS 5, x86_64 that loads into memory and boots to the OS without installing anything to hard drives. Then I would like the system to execute a shell script automatically. The shell script will have commands that will control execution.
The goal of this exercise is basically to pre-configure a system (RAID config, BIOS update, etc) automatically using the shell script before installing the OS. I would like the ability to change the shell script as needed and probably repackage the ISO image. I would prefer not to deal with building a source tree to accomplish this. this is something one could do using mkisofs.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFedora Networking :: Creating VM VLAN ?
Aug 5, 2009I'm preparing to "follow" these directions which will make VirtualBox's networking behave like VMWare's "NAT" networking. Of course, these instructions are for a Ubuntu/Debian setup.
I am quite certain that I can write a script that'll do the equivalent steps on my Fedora 11 box -- which is acceptable to me. I would, however, like to know how to splice this stuff into NetworkManager and/or /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/, to do this the "right" way.
The desired networking behavior:
-VM's get assigned addresses via DHCP on a virtual network
-VM's can talk to each other and to their physical host
-VM traffic out to the 'real world' is NATted
