Remastering script for Ubuntu
|
Conclusions
All told Pinguy Builder, did the job in a satisfactory way. That said, it does lack documentation. The fact that you might need as much as 15GB free space should be displayed more prominently. Many users will want to test the procedure in VirtualBox. The 8GB virtual hard disk generated by default is definitely too small. The ISO image we created booted and ran without any problems.
Pinguy Builder is a very relaxed way to create an individual image of an installation built on Ubuntu or any Ubuntu derivative. Basic knowledge of the operations abstracted by the GUI is not necessary. We really liked the fact that you can quickly create a backup with all your personal information, or alternatively, a distribution without any personal data. The second part of the two-step process lets you personalize the installation (Figure 6). Note that Pinguy Builder does not work in Debian because several Ubuntu packages are not available in the Debian repositories.
