Creating custom Ubuntu/Mint live distribution in 3 easy steps

Here is a nice article that shows how easy is to create custom Live CD/DVD Linux distribution. I always now that there are tools for creating custom Linux distribution but I never guess that this is so easy :). So this will work for Ubutnu and Linux Mint and you will need Remastersys tool. Here are steps:

  1. Open console and type #apt-get install remastersys
  2. To create an iso image of your installation, simply run #sudo remastersys dist This will create an iso image called customdist.iso in the /home/remastersys directory. The dist option makes that your personal folder will not be included in the iso image.
  3. Burn customdist.iso to CD or DVD and thats it :)

When you don't need any more customdist.iso on your hard drive with next command you will remove all temp files and iso:

#sudo remastersys clean
