Not sure this is the best place to post this, so if someone knows better, tell me where to go.
I have followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and was able to remove openoffice, add my PPA, install some apps and make a CD that works. yay. Now I want to do some more things: 1) add a shortcut to gnome-terminal to the launcher panel 2) add a shortcut to my app on the desktop. 3) apt-get dist-upgrade - seems like a good idea, but on the unaltered ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso it adds 150mb to the .iso, even after apt-get clean. 4) there are a bunch more apps I want to add, but there isn't room even without the dist-upgrade and removing OpenOffice. I am hoping there are some things I can remove to free up a big chunk. like I don't need the installer, but guessing that isn't much of a chunk. don't need docs, don't need printer drivers... wondering how I can see what takes up what space. I know this isn't that simple, just wondering what my options are. 5) When an external disk is plugged in that has some sort of label, it gets mounted under /media/label, not /media/disk. I would like a link to the last disk plugged in, something like /media/lastdisk so that I can always write to that pathname: /media/lastdisk/Videos/foo.dv 6) boot options to pick between master and slave: default live label live menu label DVswitch (alone or master) on Ubuntu - no change to your computer kernel /casper/vmlinuz append file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash -- label live-slave menu label DVswitch slave (no GUI) kernel /casper/vmlinuz append file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz text -- and some zeroconf magic or something so that each box gets a unique IP and hostname=master/slave. extra credit for master/slave1/slave2/slaveN... but I can live without multiple slave boxes. I have some scripts to expand iso, edit, compress back to iso: http://github.com/CarlFK/DVswitchLiveCD/tree/master and some notes, which are basically this email: http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/wiki/livecd -- Carl K -- Carl K -- Carl K -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
