There are tools available to allow anyone to create and distribute a completely customized Ubuntu Based distribution using the Gnome Desktop. Many Kubuntu users would like to do the same thing but such tools are not fully compatible with KDE and the Kiosk tool does not change or remove all of the Kubuntu defaults so that a program like Remastersys can create a customized ISO with the defined changes. This How To is designed to address these issues and allow those interested in creating their own customized distribution based on Kubuntu.

Use Kubuntu to download PC Linux OS: http://www.pclinuxos.com/index.php?option=com_ionfiles&Itemi...

Burn and install, making your changes.

as root at the command line in PCLOS issue the command: # mklivecd new.iso

And that's all folks!

You can get fancier with other options by learning more with the command: # mklivecd --help

while I'm not a regular user of PCLOS, I highly recommend it(especially to hp and compaq notebook owners), and have found it the easiest distro to use in making custom live cd's. http://www.pclinuxonline.com/wiki/RemasterLiveCD
I am a regular user of PCLOS and I do openly and to all who will listen recommend it. LOL!

Scott,

I'm not a regular PCLOS user because I'm comfortable with debian. There are many fine distros that I don't use regularly, but recommend often.

Sometimes I want to demo a web app, and the most consistent way I have been able to do it is to cut a live cd with the app, server and database already set up.

Its a nice way to demo the power of Linux as well.
PCLinuxOS is pretty nice as a live CD, especially on my 1 GB machine ...
