Ubuntu – Make a custom iso of current Ubuntu set up

12.04custom-distributionsinstallationremastersys

I have been running on a dual boot of Windows and 12.04 for quite some time now. Primarily because of space constraints and the fact that I might not have booted into Windows in the last 6 months, I would like to format the entire machine with Ubuntu.

While, I am aware of the method followed to remaster the original iso and make a custom one, I do not know how an iso of my current setup can be created. It is of utmost importance that I use my current setup because I've configured my build according to the projects I work on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you are using a non-uefi system then you can use remastersys to do so. It should be noted that remastersys is a dead project.

Install Remastersys 3.0.4-2 On Ubuntu 13.04 - Desktop X86-64:

Your understanding is correct. Go ahead and make the space by reducing the size of your D: partition. Leave the space an unallocated.

The ubuntu installer will do the rest of the partitioning for you.

install 1

On the next screen, select "specify partitions manually"

install 2

See : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall

Alternately , gparted is on the live CD and you can make partitions before you run the installer.

You can use systemback. It allows you to create a live image of your current system. Use the Live system create, and then convert that to iso.

To install, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:nemh/systemback
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install systemback
