What's the Easiest-to-Remaster Live CD ?

Postby mr-roboto » Thu Feb 01, 2007 9:21 am

I personally like Slax, for several reasons, chief among them is its ease-to-remaster the system. You can take ready-made Slackware pkgs, run a single script to create a Slax module, put the new module in the /modules sub-dir of your ISO and reburn. It's about two or three steps more involved w/ the autoconf+automake-confg'd tarball, but still easy.

I have many live CDs and love the idea. Is there something else out there that's comarable ?

Puppy Linux has a couple of remaster scripts, but I've not tried them.

PuppyLinux is the only other live CD I've found w/ a relatively easy means of remastering. While someone on the Slax forum told he uses the same method of remastering (ie. adding sessions directly to the base CD via growisofs), the technique seems to be unique. It works, altho I didn't favor the distro overall.

I'm seeing a pattern emerging about Linux tech. I hope there are more contributions to this thread. Thanx Nick....Jet

LInux From Scratch is good, slax is good, puppy scripts are good, Mklivecd is also a good script and ther is also a great guide to remastering your own distro at http://www.cyberpunkcafe.com/news.php?extend.83
