Archiso

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2010-11-12 20:53

"Archiso is a small set of bash scripts that is capable of building fully functional Arch Linux based live CD/DVD and USB images. It is a very generic tool, so it could potentially be used to generate anything from rescue systems, to install disks, to special interest live CD/DVD/USB systems, and who knows what else. Simply put, if it involves Arch on a shiny coaster, it can do it. The heart and soul of Archiso is mkarchiso. All of its options are documented in its usage output, so its direct usage wont be covered here.

The remaster_ubuntu.sh script offers a simple approach to do just this: we start with a working live CD ISO image, change its contents, and create a new live CD image. [...]

This script allows to customize an Ubuntu live CD in 3 simple steps:
