I appreciate the effort that you've done, and your willingness to share with the community.

However, I advise everyone to be very careful with third-party scripts like this: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/fatalmistakes

Why do you feel the need TO YELL

[SPr]

I smell something fishy. The download includes an aptoncd iso file to install God knows what. I wouldn't touch this at all.

Maybe I'm wrong, and the creator is a nice guy, going about things all the wrong way.

Either way, my barge pole is staying put.

Well I think its better to ask the ajparag for the confirmation and reliability of the pack.

i'm going with this since i have no idea what "ajparag" is...

[fromthehill]

his caps-lock was already stuck when he created his website.

isn't installing from the official repositories easier (and safer) than installing from aptoncd? whats the point?

also the site looks extremely fishy

[inobe]

looks like the script kiddies want to have some fun.

[kellemes]

At least give him some credit for the effort.
Most of you are only whining and not contributing anything positive to this thread at all.. :mad:

[cespinal]

Warning others of the dangers of installing unknown software from third parties IS a positive act.

ABSTRACT
I set out to prove that there is nothing fishy with the apt-iso mentioned
I conclude that the individual packages on the apt-iso are exactly similar to original sources, using sha1 hashes.

METHOD

1.
Added relevant repositories:

#burg
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bean123ch/burg/ubuntu karmic main

#meerkat
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/meerkat/stable/ubuntu karmic main

#Remastersys
deb http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/repository karmic/

2.
Downloaded all equivalents of the packages present on the apt-iso (packages/ directory, less aptoniso-metapackage).

3.
Downloaded specific (older) versions of packages:

burg & burg-themes specific older builds from
https://launchpad.net/~bean123ch/+archive/burg/+build/1553158
https://launchpad.net/~bean123ch/+archive/burg/+build/1553163

samba specific older build from
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/+archive/ppa/+build/1471139

4.
Ran sha1sum on all packages on apt-iso

5.
Compared with sha1sum of all equivalent downloaded packages

RESULT
sha1sums matches

CONCLUSION
Packages on iso are not fishy in themselves.
Author is simply fond of CapsLock and has a work-in-progress webpage.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Whether or not you want to trust the packages instead boils down to if you want to trust the external repositories/ppas mentioned above

Fishyness may still exists in the aptoniso implementation, I have only checked the packages themselves, not the "delivery method"

This is one anonymous person speaking, trusting my word would be similarly stupid, run through the procedure yourself.

COMMENTS FOR THE AUTHOR
Sorry for taking a very suspicious approach to your work, my main goal was to prove innocence, and to somewhat cease the unfounded criticism in this thread.
As you might guess I want quite a high a level of control over my system and hence am not that interested in a such a complete solution as your work offers.
Also, your method of distribution does unfortunately expose itself very well to accusations, since it is similar to what someone with real malicious intent might choose.

In that case the OP should have just given instructions on what to install rather than using the method he did.
