Creating ISO

[jayctech]

So I know how to make bootable USBs from ISOs.

But say, I've done that, now I want to change a couple of things on the ISO (e.g. browser) so that if I need it specifically for recovery purposes, it's good to go. How would I go about generating the ISO of the current computer?

 

Copied from my second post. Hopefully it's clearer what I mean:

 

Situation:

I've made a bootable live-USB of some OS (say Ubuntu). Typically anything installed when booting from that live USB will not be present the next time you boot from that USB. That's fine. But say there are some things additional things you do want to be there everytime, how can you either "add" them to the already present live-USB or create an image of the new environment which can then be used to create another live-USB stick.

 

Here's another.

I have the live-USB. I want to create a new live-USB almost identical except I want Chrome and Playonlinux to be present everytime too. With this second USB I can do whatever. I can use it to troubleshoot a computer with Windows for example and download an AV, but this AV won't be present the next time I boot from the USB (this is how I want it), but Chrome and Playonlinux will be.

So you're looking to bootload a browser into a ISO?

I don't think I understand the question.

You mean you want to modify an ISO to pre-install software for you during Windows setup? So that you don't have to re-install them after you do a reformat?

Yeah sorry I didn't think I did a good job explaining myself.

That any clearer?

Are you perhaps talking about slipstreaming a browser along with a(n) .iso of the O/S?  Google "WAIK" (as I am sure I remember something about that being used to slipstream

 

AFAIK you can't change a 'slipstream' once made you would need to remake from new.

 

If I was troubleshooting a system I wouldn't want it connected to the internet or use the hard drive so I would use something like a L'live' version of say Puppy Linux and another laptop (orWHY) to access the 'net if needed, I need the 'net ALL THE TIME(GIYF).

 

If recovering your own system, is a system image not the way to go?  Try looking in Control panel (Backup and restore) in Windows 7 or Search for "recovery" from the Windows 8 Start screen, then select the setting, "Windows 7 File Recovery." for Win8 (Yes that is windows 7 File recovery ) Backup must be to a hard drive not a USB I have an external (plugs in to USB hard drive with system images of all the systems in the house. May be worth investing in one.

Look into live persistence.

I've updated OP. Hopefully it's clearer what I mean.

Is it a Windows ISO you're modifying?

Nah it'd be Linux. Most likely Debian based. Most likely Lubuntu.
