Respin/Remix Fedora

[Metus]

THIS THREAD IS SOLVED.
THANKYOU

I'd like to create a respin/remix Live CD version of Fedora for personal use.

All I want to with my Fedora Live CD is:
- Remove certain applications to create space
- Install OO.o Writer, Impress & Calc

What is the EASIEST way possible to do this?
I'm not a developer nor a coder so I'm not pro at fiddling with command lines (but I could give it a try if you tell me how.)

Thankyou

Hi,

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to..._use_a_Live_CD

As root user or using sudo,

# yum install spin-kickstarts

# cd /usr/share/spin-kickstarts



Edit the file fedora-livecd-desktop.ks

Remove the packages you don't want either by delisting them or add a - in front of them

@office group installs Openoffice.org stuff

If you want to remove Fedora branding

--

# rebranding

-fedora-logos
-fedora-release
-fedora-release-notes
generic-release
generic-logos
generic-release-notes

---

Then run this on the command line

# setenforce 0

# sudo livecd-creator --config=fedora-livecd-desktop.ks --cache=cache/ --fslabel=my-remix

--

Hope this helps

This is useful info.
Would it be the same procedure if you want to create a DVD install?

Hi,

Live DVD's. yes. For regular DVD's, you need to use the tool called Pungi or Revisor

Thanks a lot.
You really simplified the complicatedness of the process.

please don't necro-post. this thread was about users customising packages added to the ISO, not just getting the latest builds. thread closed and moved to EOL since the custom ISO tools and procedure have changed anyhow.

newer, relevant instructions are here
