[Ubuntu-be] ubuntu cd/dvd

[martijn cielen]

Bram (and others),

I really appreciate your effort, but since it seems I'm taking the
lead in the custom ISO project, I'd propose waiting for the
installment meeting, in order to avoid multiple people working on the
same thing, and other things not being worked on.
I'll organize this meeting later this week.
If it has been agreed that I'm not taking the lead, please ignore this mail.

Now, for customization, I can tell you from personal experience it
isn't as straightforward as it looks. Here's the steps I've taken
before (from the top of my head, so might not be 100% accurate):

1. mount the iso in eg /mnt/iso
2. mount the squashfs in eg /mnt/squashfs
3. change the squashfs
4. recompile the suqashfs
5. change the iso using an iso tool
6. test

I used this setup to created a customized installation cd for my
client, using RedHat. The approach should be similar for Ubuntu.

kindest regards,

Martijn
