[Live-demo] customized ISO not booting

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi,

This issue was not resolved and we moved to the Ubuntu official method 
to create iso, without installing everything on a VM first.

So you have 2 options:
1. Use the new method and create a script for every custom application 
you need to install, configure and then include it in the inchroot.sh 
script. This will not need a VM.
2. Create a VM as a base and try remastersys (using the GUI it provides 
http://www.remastersys.com/ ) or similar tools (eg. Ubuntu Builder 
http://code.google.com/p/ubuntu-builder/ ). Both are nice applications 
and hopefully you can get them working.
Please use the supported methods for those tools (as described in their 
documentation) instead of the build_iso.sh

Best,
Angelos
