Create your own Live CD

I created my own Ubuntu live DVD yesterday, complete with all the apps & codecs I use and the Ubuntu Studio theme I install each and every time I reinstall. I think I’ll call it GavBuntu (haha)

If anyone else using Ubuntu or Mint would like to do the same, it’s really easy.

Go to “Software Sources” in the admin menu
add a new 3rd party source as follows

deb http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/repository remastersys/

Then, in a terminal type

sudo apt-get install remastersys

Then, if you want to create a full live backup of your system, type

sudo remastersys backup

or, you can create a redistributable live CD with

sudo remastersys dist

When making a redistributable live CD/DVD, for best results, uninstall the restricted display driver if you are using one, or theres a chance you’ll be greeted with an error message when you boot the new disc suggesting it couldn’t set the display settings.
