Hello Fabrizio,

Thank you very much for your guide. It has been very usefull to me.
However, my goal is to generate a customized ISO from Ubuntu 10.04 including a single debian package into the pool/extras directory. And I want this package to be installed during the ISO installation. You redirect to help.ubuntu.com for resolving it but I do not find any part which explains how to install a debian package which is already into the ISO’s extra folder.

Could you explain how to do it please ?

Regards

” now you can copy your packages in /home/fabrizio/tmp/remaster-iso/pool/extras, customize preseed files or do other customizations ”

Can you explain this a bit? How to customize the preseed and how to change the themes and wallpapers ?

Hello Fabrizio,

You guys have done great job remastering and compiling such a small ubuntu distribution! And all the customization tools…

Currently I am trying to use Ubuntu Mini Remix 11.04 (i386) to create bootable USB key that will automatically run couple different scripts. I have been using so far SLAX and as it is using ‘root’ as default user it was easy with stuff like mounting and unmounting and creating directories. Switching to ubuntu now it is using ‘ubuntu’ account and all the scripts need to be corrected (added sudo in front of commands like mount).
Is it possible to modify Ubuntu Mini Remix 11.04 so it will be using ‘root’ account instead?
I tried to run ‘sudo su’, ‘su -s’, ‘su -i’, ‘su -u’ from inside the script, but they switch to a different shell(?) and my program stops.
Ho can I overcome this?
If not I will need to modify all scripts (it is a lot of work!) and to add ‘sudo’ in front of each command that requires elevated permissions.
I googled for days with no avail.
Could you please point me to a source or give me an advice, please?
Really appreciate your advise and help.

Best regards,

Thanks a bunch for this application and instructions.

A couple of questions.

Is there a way to install some packages after rebooting the system?

If updates are in the pool/extras folder, will they get installed? Or can they go into the pool/main folder, replacing the original package?

Ok, a triple of questions …

How to remove packages? Can unused packages be simply deleted from pool/main?

@muzzol: actually you should look into the gfxboot documentation cause (if I’m not wrong) this is the component that manage that part of the boot process.
