Creating LiveCD from current installation

[rsal]

It is really easy to install Salix and add desired packages using gslapt to new computers. However, if much customization is needed, it may be preferred to have a LiveCD of an existing installation. What is the best method to create a LiveCD of an existing hard disk Salix installation? Will such a live CD also include an installer? Thanks for your help.

No, there is no easy way to do this.

@gapan : As you hint and as one can see on searching the net, there are some ways but all seem to be difficult needing many manual steps. I will appreciate if you can mention which one method do you prefer.

This was slax approach creating a system of an existing hard disk installation. Such a live system it is only for personal use. And it is not worth the job needed.
Just install the live system and create a file with the files you want e.g. echo file1 file2 file3 > packages
and use slapt-get to install them in all computers. You don't have to use gslapt to choose every file in every computer.
e.g.

Code: Select all

 sudo slapt-get -i  `cat packages`
