Ubuntu Mini Remix 8.10
Nov 3, 2008
You want to create your own Ubuntu Based distro but you don’t want to start from scratch? Ubuntu Mini Remix is the answer you’ll looking for!
It’s the smallest Ubuntu out there, only 133MB, fully functional, you can also use it as a rescue cd!
Download it and, using an ISO remastering software like Ubuntu Customization Kit, start customizing it adding your preferred software, graphic and everything you want.

I still prefer to use Minimal .ISO when building an .ISO:

fine, also if they’re a little bit different cause the “minimal” has a lot of text-based tools while “mini remix” is just a set of packages without tools that are not by default in the ubuntu desktop ISO.
I also see that “minimal” seems to put the “live” experience on the background (which is far from the default ubuntu desktop behavior) and downloads every package from the net when you boot it (after asking a lot of questions) so maybe you reduce the ISO size but make users download a big amount of packages.
just different points of view.

I don’t make users download anything. I use the .ISO as a base, install and configure everything I want, and then build my .ISO.

don’t take it personal Tiago, I was talking about the default “ubuntu minimal cd” behaviour.
