Pinguy Builder – An App to Backup/Remix *buntu | Pinguy OS

Decided to share my fork of remastersys. This is the script used to build Pinguy OS. The script can create a livecd of the installed system and works with
pinguyos.com pinguyos.com

You might want to use the backup mode to make sure all custom changes are saved, but if you do that, strain the home folder with a fine tooth comb first, all contents of the /home folder get copied, even temp files and other unneeded junk.

So backup mode still deploys it as a liveCD? I was wondering that, since I have logon scripts for kiwi that need to carry over.

Edit: At a grand total of 331MB of RAM used. Gonna let conky run a while and make sure it doesn't have any memory leaks.

You have to include a user name and password if you use the backup option, it makes an in situ copy of everything exactly as it appeared on the OS.

I'd make it something easy like "kiwi" for both, so people can change it later.

Yeah, it's already kiwi/kiwi
I'm running the backup now, /home/ is at a whopping 33MB. I'll start a github repo or something for it so we can provide actual version control once I get the ISO.

You could host it on the Kiwi Farms git server:

i like fedora
For debian distros, I always felt Ubuntu was a user-friendly distro that managed to not be as user-friendly as Mint. Never really saw what the big deal with it was.

I liked Peppermint OS for old laptops. For a while, they stopped doing it for some reason, but they apparently started again. I haven't used any of the more recent versions, though, and don't know if it's as good as it used to be.

Most of the tools for easily refactoring Linux are based around Ubuntu, not much of a choice for a guy who is no 133t programmer.

And besides, the whole idea was a pre-setup Linux that doesn't require a shitload of overhead, I'm not too picky what it's called so long as it gets the job done.

I'm pushing out a kf branded livecd, eta is tomorrow because generating a squashfs takes ages. GRUB menu, xfce themes, lightdm greeter, bootstrap splash, the works. Also a widget that rotates some quotes from random_text. Pictures are earlier in the thread.

If Kiwi Farms isn't the default homepage, I'm going to be severely pissed off.
 
Sorry for inactivity, i got to sleep, but i compiled a grub menu in the meantime:

The "GNU with Linux-nonfree" was a mistake, it's supposed to say "GNU with AutismOS", i'm recompiling the correct version atm
also the background is stolen so if anyone wants to offer good art i'm ok with that

i have the image, but it's nothing special, its a linux kernel 5.2.4, with iwlwifi firmware compiled in, when you boot in there' s a gdm screen that let's you choose between XFCEses, Gnome (i unironically like it fight me) and i3wm

Will check this out later.

In the meantime, might want to add the metadata tags I did on my original release, if only to make it easier to find later for people.

Done. When you test it, see if you're able to open the OS installer. It seems to do nothing for me.
