Custom Bootable Ubuntu CD
So, last month, I was talking about rolling your own distro. This week, it’s rolling your own LiveCD.
Over at TechRepublic, they ran an article on using some tools built into Ubuntu to make your own, custom Ubuntu LiveCD. For those of you not in the know, a “LiveCD” is a bootable version of an operating system, in this case Linux, that will run from the CD without installing on the workstation. It’s a great way to try out a new operating system or bring a portable, emergency software toolkit with you without damaging or changing a PC.
The tool, for my fellow wireheads, is called Reconstructor and the article pretty well takes you through step-by-step on how to do it. Well worth the read if you’re a Linux geek, most especially if your distro is Ubuntu.
