Alex C. Trent April 28, 2008 CEN Project Cogent Linux
Cogent Linux Presentation: • Introduction • Goals • Tools Used • Process • Results
A Custom Linux Boot CD Introduction: • Experience: Built Katyalix Linux Live CD from Knoppix using bash scripting in 2006 • http://katyalix.sourceforge.net • This Project: Build a new Linux Live CD from Ubuntu using new tools developed in the past 2 years
Cogent Linux Goals: • Primary Goal: to create a custom built Linux boot CD based on Ubuntu Linux • Secondary Goals: include theme and package customizations and specifically include my own gdm login screen from: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ubuntu+black+gdm+login?content=73364 • Tertiary Goals: Enable 3D Desktop
Custom Boot CD Creation Tools: • Remasterys • Reconstructor • Ubuntu Customization Kit
Setup: • Reconstructor package: • reconstructor_2.7_all.deb • iso image of system to reconstruct: • ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso • login, background, window manager, icons and mouse themes to install from: • http://gnome-look.org • List of packages to be installed
List of packages to be installed: • audacious • avant-window-navigator • compizconfig-settings-manager • gimp and gimp-plugin-registry • mplayer-nogui • nvidia-glx-new • rrootage • ubuntu-restricted-extras
Live CD Testing Tools: • VMware • VirtualBox • Parallels
Ubuntu Black GDM Login:http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ubuntu+black+gdm+login?content=73364
Cogent Linux Results: • Primary Goal: to create a custom built Linux boot CD based on Ubuntu Linux • Secondary Goals: include theme and package customizations and specifically include my own gdm login screen from: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ubuntu+black+gdm+login?content=73364 • Tertiary Goals: Enable 3D Desktop
Cogent Linux Conclusion: • Remastersys is does not work • Reconstructor is an excellent tool for creating custom Linux live CDs • Ubuntu Customization Kit remains untested...
Cogent Linux Future Possibilities: • Setup boot CDs for specific tools and Environments • Create custom Linux boot CDs for specific Applications • Research how to Enable 3D Desktop
