[SoC] [Live-demo] how to easily create a live Disc with only some of the projects

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

All,

Is this type of capability a possible SoC project?

Pick and choose from the Live DVD for end user packaging?

Seems like this would be fairly useful to Live-DVD users.

Dear All,

I am in the process of creating a live Disk (aka USB stick) for a project called the "Tanzania Food and Land Productivity Information System" -  see a online version of this here http://transsec2.terragis.net/Welcome.html . The system is nearly finished ( and uses MapServer, PostGIS, GDAL, OpenLayers 2 etc) under the hood. We would like to publish as an ISO image to have bootable USB sticks available for teaching and scientific purposes.

No I have tried to cerate my own bootable system via setting up an Ubuntu and tried to cerate an ISO image form there but have run in a lot of issues (the first resulting ISO created via systemback failed to boot into the GUI but only command line, and a later botched attempt setting up a Xubuntu server on a local laptop, where all worked except the MapServer version could not easily be installed) .
Thus, I wanted to reach out for advice what is the easiest way to get a bootable system iso created including my project (open to use Ubuntu for Xubuntu or the like as a base) .

One alternative to my recent approach - I guess - would be to use the live disk as a base , install that to a local machine, then uninstall all that is not needed, and then use the Systemback application to create a iso ?

Cheers
Karsten
