Hi Cameron,

this is the way i'm following.

i'm using a linux distro installed on a VM (virtualbox)
then from it i create the live.iso using remastersy basckup utility.

i had to hack a bit remastersy to have it working on sidux too.

why sidux :
sidux has already preinstalled a virtual environment,
so when you start the live.iso inside a VM
it will have the "base" virtualbox addition already Working.

This means :
- mouse can go outside the vm screen
- 3d sw ( like ossimplanet) working in a live session
- screen expanding.. etc

but i also had, in the live.iso desktop, a ditrectory with the virtualbox addition installer. it is needed beacouse any upgrade that touch the kernel ... needs a new virtualbox addition installation.

i have an updated live.iso disk image, i uploaded it to darkblue_b (irc frrenode) to a berkeley univ. computer so him can do simple test and see if all works as aspected (the live do not has all the geo-sw installed, beacouse i need that it go under testing first. if we don't have boot and driver problems, i can go ahead to customize it)

tell me if you want try it, let me know if i can upload it to you.

ciao,

Massimo.

Ricardo,
I wonder whether it would be possible to cut a Live DVD image from the GISVM virtual machine image?

If so, this could be an effective way to share the maintenance of the LiveDVD and GISVM, and share communities.

Is this possible, and what would be involved to make this happen?
