Right! Of course just after I release a new version of Bauer-Puntu<\/a> Linux I find a better way of making my custom live CD and USB! In fact, it uses the same back end scripts the Debian Linux team uses. The utility is called Live-Helper<\/a>, and up until recently had no GUI interface to make things simple.<\/p>\n

Well a team of Python geniuses made a GUI front end that makes building a standard ISO, USB Image, or a Netboot Tarball easy as a wizard! The GUI front end is called Live-Magic<\/a>. Because Ubuntu is a Debian based distro, it is available in the Ubuntu repositories. What does that mean? It means installing it is as simple as using apt-get!<\/p>\n

Here is a screen shot:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

From what I can tell there are two main scripts involved with making the Live Distro. The scripts are lh_configure<\/b> and lh_build<\/b>. Here is what each does per their page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

lh_config Procedure<\/i><\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

lh_config is a shell script to prepare the current directory as a workspace to build Debian Live images. It accepts a number of command line parameters (see lh_config --help<\/tt>) influencing the kind of image to build and other aspects of the build process, and generates configurations in the config<\/tt> subdirectory. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

lh_build Procedure<\/i><\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

lh_build is a shell script to automagically create Debian Live images for you. The image generation is as simple as: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/span> <\/p>\n
