Arrow Reconstructor: Ubuntu Live CD creator/customizer

http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/

Quote:
Reconstructor is a Live CD creator for Ubuntu Linux.

It uses the Ubuntu Linux Live CD as a base, and then allows customization of boot screens (usplash), gnome settings, and software (you can also use the chroot environment to make other changes before creating the live cd).

Reconstructor does not create separate distros. It keeps the solid Ubuntu foundation, and just allows for customization. For example, create a custom Live CD with blender, inkscape, etc. included for a friend in graphics, or simply use reconstructor to re-brand your environment (wallpaper, fonts).

Reconstructor is written in python and is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL)
Works great!

Re: Reconstructor: Ubuntu Live CD creator/customizer

I tested it, and can say that it does work quiet nicely. though i understand it's still under dev,and might be still rough around the edges. It is still great work.

I have no use for it personally, yet. But I put a post on my blog about it as it looks like a good idea.

I also see that Arnie boy's Automatix-Bleeder is coming along nicely, especially if a newbie has an nvidia or ati card problem but wants all the eye candy.

Re: Reconstructor: Ubuntu Live CD creator/customizer

richbarna I just wanted to test it to see how it worked. me personaly i use the standard distro. though i can see this being of use for those who may want to make a custom live distro with whatever programs/services they need,and don't need. same holds true for automatrix that has come along ways too, and theres users who may not want to get their hands dirty with the CL yet so these tools may fill this void. most linux/ubuntu users will eventualy have to mess with CL as there maybe something that theres no gui for.

Re: Reconstructor: Ubuntu Live CD creator/customizer

When we install through this live cd, do the customizations get installed too?
