More granular Customization LiveCD

[rmdelano]

I see on the wiki were you can pick and choose packages when making a Live CD. I need a little more granular configuration of IPTables email client/server, etc.

Is there any way to do this with just the configuration file?

Is there any way to take a regular installation on a HD and turn that into a Live CD?

Thank you for any help.

I think revisor with a custom kickstart file may be what you're looking for. I found this somewhere on the web:

#!/bin/bash

# Kickstart from presently installed

ks=$(zenity --entry --text="Name of kickstart file: ")

echo 'part / --size 8000' > $ks
echo '%packages' >> $ks
/usr/bin/yum -C --color=never list installed | \
   /usr/bin/awk '{print $1}' | \
   /bin/grep -v -E "^[0-9]*[.:]" | \
   /bin/grep -v "^\@" | \
   /bin/sed -e 's/\.noarch$//;s/\.x86_64$//;s/\.i[3456]86$//' | \
   /bin/sort -u >> $ks
echo '%end' >> $ks

That's what I'm aiming for with this request:

Thanks for the response, I look more into kickstart, may be that will help me. I will follow your thread as will because that would be sweet to be able to do.

Thanks,
