making a distribution/customizing an existing distro is not very simple. if yu want to completely customize it according to your requirements, then try LFS (linuxfromscratch.org). otherwise if yu just need to modify icons etc. and change the installation, then perhaps yu can look into anaconda installer and modify the themes (e.g. for gnome yu can find them in /usr/share/themes, /usr/share/icons and /usr/share/pixmaps) if yu already have installed a distro and want to customize it yu can have a look at the gnome desktop system administration guide - http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/ also, AFAIR, pcquest carried an article on how to customize a distribution some time back. yu can try searching google, hopefully yu'll find good help there -- \|||/ (o o) --------------------------------ooO-----(_)-Ooo- | vivek | GPG Key: | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://exain.net/vike | |------------------------------------------------| | Registered Linux User: #305493 | ------------------------------------------------ ( _ ) _| | | |_ (___| |___) _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
