I have just made a live cd from my linux install on my hard drive. Holy
s..t it was soo easy!
I rooted shell and typed remasterme and just like magic...I had an iso
of my linux os with ALL MY SETTINGS!
It appears that it has the basic boot files and the like but my
background pictures, settings, even the files in the garbage are all
there! It even has all the programs that were synaptically installed on
my system! It is a 3.5G dvd but I will slim this way down next time and
tweak on this oh so very hard.
I don't have 3d acceleration and the graphics are set too big but given
what I have now I am almost in tears of the simplicity of it!
I am right now using my live cd to email this!
You know...it would be very easy to make a lugod live cd this way with
backgrounds, bookmarks, and even things loaded to start upon booting
into desktop. This is way too cool and uber easy to pass up.
Has anybody else played with making a live cd? Can I get some imput?
Is there a doctor in the house cuz IM ABOUT TO PASS OUT FROM ALL THIS
EXCITEMENT!

Grats, it sounds pretty cool. I've never done it just read about it.
I'm in the planning stages of making myself a custom bootable USB drive
including some new fancy trick that lets you boot in Qemu on a live
windows system.
If you want to make a custom one for lugod, go for it. Maybe we'll do a
survey this month and see what software people think we should include,
pull it all with synaptic and then remaster. I didn't realize it was so
simple.
P.s.: Alex, do you remember what partitions are blank on my hard
drive? Since we formatted all of them I don't know which ones I can use
to make another install.
I'm think we did
part 1 PCLinuxOS
part 2 -
part 3 -
part 4 /home
part 5 /swap
To check, do a
df -h
If it's 0% used then use it,
you could also mount the partition and see if there are files in it,
that would be a sure way to know.
Hmm, I'm not quite sure how to reuse your existing /home better ask
around a bit 1st.
