To whomever may be able to provide some insight;
Black Lab Image Creator (BLIC) 1.5 has NOT been tested with

Lubuntu respins if I can. Starting with BLIC's predesessor
Remastersys; I have successfully made the C4C Lubuntu ReSpins
based on 12.10, 13.04, 13.10, and 14.04. But, while trying to
use Black Lab Image Creator 1.5 with Lubuntu 14.10 I get the
following error early in the distribution build process:
cp: missing destination file operand after
‘/home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys/ISOTMP/isolinux/’
Try 'cp --help' for more information
The distribution build process continues and the iso seems to be
produced as normal. However, after burning the iso to DVD and
attempting to start another (32-bit) machine from it, I never
even get to my custom splash screen. I get the error;
failed to load ldlinux.c32
I believe the ldlinux.c32 file is created from contents I've
always edited; isolinux.cfg is where I change the text of the
splash screen (splash.png) to our own and remove options to
start the install in low graphics mode or live. It seems that
the error I get while first starting to boot a 32-bit machine
from CD (DVD in this case) means a file called vesamenu.c32
failed to be created in
/home/blacklabimage/remasteredsys/ISOTMP/isolinux/ and therefore
failed to make it onto the iso.
I went back and used Black Lab Image Creator 1.1 to respin
Lubuntu 14.04.
The vesamenu.c32 file is created and contains exactly one line:
žþLÍ!üè
There are other options for a non-programmer like me to respin
Lubuntu. However, I have grown quite fond of this particular
method. If anyone can help me figure out what changed/why this
no longer works I'd be very grateful.

I haven't got the first thing to offer by way of a solution or
insight, but this is a topic I have been interested in. So maybe
you can help ME instead!
When you say, "There are other options for a non-programmer like
me to respin Lubuntu," what options were you thinking about?
I have seen references to Distroshare Ubuntu Imager (https://github.com/Distroshare/distroshare-ubuntu-imager)
and Systemback (http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemback/)
as Remastersys alternatives, but I have not tested either of
them. I'd be interested in anyone else's experience with them or
other alternatives.
By George, I think I've got it! The new isolinux has a couple of
extra directories now, so isolinux.bin, linux.c32, vesainfo.c32 and
the file I think the one Black Dog Image Creator is looking for;
vesamenu.c32 is now buried two more directories deep than it used to
be; /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/efi32 - So I changed the path in
blacklabimager in line 399 from
VESAMENU=`find /usr -print0 | grep -FzZ
"syslinux/vesamenu.c32"`
to
VESAMENU=`find /usr -print0 | grep -FzZ
"syslinux/modules/efi32/vesamenu.c32"`
and I'm not getting that error!
And yes, there are those alternatives you mentioned, as well as just
plain command-line instructions
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeALiveCD/DVD/BootableFlashFromHarddiskInstall
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch
but I've used this Remastersys fork for so long now because it uses
my modified Ubiquity installer, my splash screen(s), allows me to
delete options I don't want for the end-user like running in low
graphics mode and running Live and I guess I just got used to the
way it works. Even though it's now $50 - it's worth it it (if I can
get it to work for 14.10 and beyond). Distroshare Ubuntu Imager says
it's based on Remastersys and it looks like it took a bit from Black
Lab Image Creator too, so that's definately my next script to try if
the above doesn't work like I think.
