I am new to Linux distributions, currently working on Ubuntu 14.04. How do you make a live CD from a live installation? Earlier there was "REMASTERSYS".

  • I have always made copies of my installation WITHOUT personal files. It means, I install software I want to use, make some modifications to the system and make a copy. Also - maybe - there's not enough space on the hard disk for the copy you try to make. – – Stasia Trubitsyna May 02 '15 at 17:18
  • Do it manually please. You will learn a lot about computers and linux, it is fun and not that difficult. Have a look here for a starter: http://askubuntu.com/questions/48535/how-to-customize-the-ubuntu-live-cd – Rinzwind May 04 '15 at 17:05

It seems remastersys is not well supported in latest distribution. I suggest you use systemback. It also has some extra nice features. I have been able to successfully create an iso with it and written it to a 4G memory stick. However it failed to write to a 16G memory stick. I had to use unetbootin for that. My suggestion is to use systemback for creating an iso file and then unetbootin for writing to USB.

Ubuntu Customization Kit, also found through apt-get, or synaptic, and then for added flexibility there is UCK-flow

There are a few extra dependencies you might have to install, but 'uck' and 'uck-flow' are python scripts to help unpack, modify, and repack ISO images.

Edit: I just checked the .deb file for uck-flow it went catatonic on installation. I could easily build it from the source.

Unpack the archive;

sudo python setup.py build

and then 

sudo python setup.py install

the executable is located /usr/local/bin/uck-flow, but there is also a menu entry at System Tools (in mine;-)
