Hi there
I am looking a creating a custom live CD so that I can use the apps that I need an take it around with me. However I can extract everything but I don’t know how to put it back together. So any help would be good.
This is what I did:
=====> I created a script and put the iso in a directory <=====
lxpkr:/opt/ISO/opensuse/tmp # ls -l
total 699400
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 206 Aug 10 04:59 extract_iso.sh
-rw-r–r-- 1 readyp mrst 716177408 Aug 10 03:23
openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso
lxwest:/opt/ISO/opensuse/tmp # cat extract_iso.sh
mkdir iso ext3 clicfs
mount -o loop openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso iso
clicfs -m 128 iso/openSUSE-gnome-11.3-livecd-gnome-read-only.i686-2.8.0 clicfs
mount -o loop clicfs/fsdata.ext3 ext3
ls -l ext3
====> I then run the script and everything gets mounted OK <====
lxpkr:/opt/ISO/opensuse/tmp # sh ./extract_iso.sh

Thanks for any help.
Why not just use SuSE Studio to roll your own…?
