I want to use the live boot media for Ubuntu v12.04 to test against features of my laptop. It seems that I will need to add a group of packages to what is loaded by default. Is there some way to get some persistence in my testing?
One approach would implement a persistent store (key drive or similar) to hold some scripting. The scripting could then add the packages using command line apt-get after each boot.
Is there some other way to get packages to load during the use of the live media distro? Someone mentioned a tool that would let me tinker the contents of the ISO file. I don't think that I'm not skilled enough to do that without breaking the distro. If the tool let me tinker the distro saying, "I want package X, Y, Z ..." and the right things happen, that might work fine for my tests.
Thanks in advance,
