I found the screen shot guide at:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/remastersys
useful, but I think the screen shots that show how to transfer username folders to the skel folder are not easy to understand what is being done or which folders to choose and which not to, the actual screen shots are limited in what they show is taking place or I would need to do.
I want to transfer all my Fire Fox settings/extensions/search engines to a LiveCd Dist. Do I just transfer my Mozilla folder to skel and nothing more?
Plus I want to ensure my LiveCd Dist includes a Desktop folder and it's content
These is these are the most critical steps, more than two screen shots are needed and there need to be ones that show all the copied username folders residing in the skel folder. To help I am attaching a copy of the two screenshots.
Though in summary I do prefer screen shot guides rather that pithy text explanations that assume newbies like me understand terminology.
<b>For New Users:</b><br />
<a href="http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/" target="_blank">The Psychocats site</a> is a great site for new users to explore. It uses a combination of terminal commands and screenshot-heavy point-and-click tutorials to help get you up and running with Ubuntu, and it addresses many common questions and problems newcomers have when starting with Ubuntu.<br />
<br />
Psychocats isn't intended to compete with other documentation sites. Its goal is to give a uniform look and feel for several key tutorials and, more importantly, not to overwhelm or confuse new users with too many tutorials in hard-to-find places. Each tutorial addresses a common Ubuntu question, and all the internal links are on the sidebar.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in a more comprehensive set of tutorials, especially ones aimed at advanced or intermediate use (or just anything not covered on my site--for example, how to use <i>ndiswrapper</i>), you may want to check out <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=100" target="_blank">the Tutorials & Tips section of these forums,</a> or <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community" target="_blank">the official community-maintained documentation</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>For Other Users:</b><br />
Thank you for all your help so far!<br />
<br />
Users on these forums have caught typos and other errors and kept me abreast of changes in versions of software I don't use (e.g. Songbird). Some users have even contributed whole paragraphs to the Psychocats tutorials, and I've tried to credit them appropriately.<br />
<br />
<b>Working with Psychocats:</b><br />
I've had numerous requests asking if people can link to or translate the Psychocats Ubuntu website. The answer is <i>yes</i>. You can link to Psychocats without asking my permission. If you want to translate Psychocats Ubuntu, you may do that as well (please let me know, though--I'm just curious to know what's going on), and I encourage spreading the knowledge. I haven't officially licensed the documentation, but the closest I've found to what I'd say embodies the spirit with which I'm giving Psychocats Ubuntu to the community is <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" target="_blank">the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license </a>. If you would like to mirror Psychocats, you may do so, but please send me a link to the mirrored site, so I can know to refer people there also.<br />
<br />
<b>Future Updates and Feedback:</b><br />
If you have any constructive criticism, please leave it in this thread. I'll be checking back from time to time. I devote a lot of time to the Ubuntu community and to these forums, especially, but this is not my main job. So go ahead and leave any suggestions you may have, but I may not get around to implementing them right away (or at all, depending on how good the suggestion is).<br />
<br />
If the Psychocats website has helped you, you can post that here, too. It's always good to know what people have found helpful, and which pages are most frequently used by people.<br />
