Hi Angelos:
Again thanks for the tips.
I'm re-reading the wiki page on the build process. A few more
questions, if I may, just to be sure I understand the steps:
1- I understand that any ubuntu (or Debian?) system can be used
now to do a build? Just grab and run the bootstrap.sh, which pulls
down all the gisvm scripts etc. Is that right? This I do only
once?
2- Then I run the ~/gisvm/bin/build_chroot.sh to get a default
osgeo-live_xxx.iso under my <user>/livedvdtmp directory?
3- Now I can alter scripts in the ~/gisvm/bin directory
(especially the inchroot.sh) to add/remove whatever I need? And If
I now re-run the build_chroot.sh, my customizations will be
applied?
4- I see that the whole <user>/livedvdtmp/edit directory is
emptied after each run of build_chroot.sh. Does it make sense to
leave that directory as is, in order to ease bandwidth use on each
re-run of the build_chroot?
Cheers,
Micha

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

Thanks, Angelos
Somehow I had the idea that the previous remastersys method was
still working on
version 6.0.
So what option do I have to create a customized iso now? If I
understand
correctly, the build_chroot.sh script recreates the whole
default osgeo-live,
rather than using the data and packages installed in the current
VM.
