I'd like to create a live cd locally from scratch and was wondering how canonical does this themselves? Is there tooling around?

I've already been able to build the linux kernels and initrds by downloading

apt-get source debian-installer
make build_netboot

But I'd like a complete ISO just like Canonical would distribute such as 14.04.5. in fact if canonical would've created a 14.04.6 I wouldve been helped, since the kernel I need actually is in 14.04, just not in the 14.04.5 iso

  • Hmm I wonder why my google attempt did not show those questions/references. Thanks, definitely will be checking that out – hbogert Nov 03 '18 at 10:08
  • I should've been more specific. The above is geared towards LiveCDs, whereas I am interested in the classical (debian-installer based) server iso. Altering an existing ISO is not really the way to go as I am in need of a newer kernel which is not provided by 14.04.5. Editing the kernel seems problematic with implicit dependencies like all the udeb modules, e.g., scsi-modules-4.4.0-34-generic-di_4.4.0-34.53_amd64.udeb – hbogert Nov 03 '18 at 10:21
  • @user535733 you are right, I updated it. Hopefully it explains my goal somewhat better. – hbogert Nov 03 '18 at 13:26

    It does, I voted to close my own question as a duplicate. – hbogert Mar 27 '22 at 10:11
