Re: [orca-list] Making a live cd

Hello,

If your going to instal Ubuntu or any linux distro. your linux distro
should be the first1.
You would then have I believe a single user mode and a couple of other
options. If you go down like 5 times you should be able to press enter
and boot windows.
If your are wanting to boot from cd, that depends what your bios is set
to.
On my dell I can just press f12 and then down once to boot from cd. If I
insert a usb stick pressing down once when pressing f12 will boot the
usb drive.

TJ, I have not tried using remastersys with a Wubi install and I am not sure
whether that will work or not, but it can't do any harm to try it and see!

On a normal install there are two very different ways to make a live CD with
remastersys. The Backup option makes a live CD with all of your user 
settings
saved onto the CD as a pre-configured user account. This will retain all of
your user settings including your username and password etc. It will be
exactly the same as your installed system, but on a live CD. The Dist option
on the other hand does not keep any of your user settings, but it does 
retain
any applications you have installed and/or uninstalled. So the answer to 
your
questions is it will keep your username and password if you use the Backup
option and if you setup the installed version to login automatically and
start Orca then the Live CD will behave in exactly the same way. However if
you choose the Dist option only the addition of the Skype plugin will 
remain.
I use the Backup option to create Vibuntu as it retains all of the
accessibility settings. You will also have to use the Backup option if you
want to retain all of your personal settings. However I do not know if Wubi
will work with your remastered CD. You have to put the ISO in the same
directory as the Wubi.exe file, but they may have tweaked it so it only
recognises official CD's. I have no way of testing this because I burnt my
'Windows' boats a long time ago and don't have a suitable machine to test it
out! Good luck, let us know what happens!

Hello,

I've used the wubi installer to make the pefect copy of ubuntu that I wish 
to
use.  I've installed remastersys, and wish to create my custom iso that I 
can
burn to a cd for later use.

I have a couple of questions, though:
How do I tell it to make my username and password that I've got on my 
machine
now for the live cd?  My conclusion is that remastersys takes all of these
things that I've done and bunches them up, thus, my live cd would have my
username and password on it.  Am I mistaken?

Second.  How do I tell it to boot up, with orca ready to go, and get me to
the login screen so when I log in orca will come up talking.

Third.  I've gotten help installing the skype for pidgin plugin.  It's my
understanding that this will remain on the live cd.

Thanks,

Tj.
