Custom Live CD

[OldTweaker]

About 20 years ago I created several custom live Linux CDs for a project I was working on. This week I looked into how easy that is these days. It is actually so easy that I created a bunch of scripts that make it quite simple. The scripts can be found here: https://gitlab.com/customlivecd/customlivecd

It works on debian based distro's (only tested on Debian 12). Run the prerequisites script, change some config files and run the runme.sh script. You can add any package from the repo's, .debs (for i.e. the Citrix Workspace app) or run commands. A way to include Virtualbox guest additions is included, but you have to download the files first yourself (to avoid license issues with Oracle

Result: a custom .iso you can write to USB or CD/DVD with your files, your own user and passwords.

 

Maybe there are much better ways or projects to this, but it works for me...
