Remaster / Livecd / Systemback / Customizing Iso for friends
#1
I have been using LL now for six months, and really like it.  My current issue is that I have a couple of tweaks I want to make before I install Linuxlite on a friend's computer (and several of my own), and that leads me back to prior discussions of live-cd making and remastersys, etc.  The type customization I am focusing on is setting up the XFCE panel at the bottom of the screen with the particular options I (and my friend) are looking for, making sure a couple of key desktop icons are in place, etc.  I gather that may also mean that I'll need to understand how to make sure my XFCE configuration gets into etc/skel so that when my friend installs on his new computer, he can set up his own user account.

Over the holidays I purchased blacklabimager and I am fairly pleased with that, but I am still looking for other alternatives for making a custom livecd.  My personal home folder has grown pretty large, and I have lots of programs installed, and and I am going to have to figure out how to scale that back and deal with the iso size limit.

I could probably study the command line options for blacklabimager (if there are any) but I am looking for something easier.    I came across SYSTEMBACK http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemback/  which says it can do system and data backups AND create a livecd with lots of options.  Does anyone have any recent experience with this or alternative methods for customizing a livecd?  I've seen a couple of threads over six months old, but this seems to be a moving target.

thanks
