Remastersys is an application which clones operating systems. It converts your operating system to an ISO file which you can burn to a DVD. Your friends can then use that DVD to easily install your customized version of Ubuntu on their computers.
If you're trying to create a way for your novice friends to install "tar.gz" files, don't bother; they're not inherently installable files. Think of "tar.gz" files like "zip" files; they're archives which could potentially contain anything (e.g. images, music, documents). If your novice friends need a simple way to install applications, point them toward the Ubuntu Software Center :) On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 12:51 PM, michael <[email protected]> wrote: > LUG [@ Simon & Kyle], > I have checked out http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ but from > what I have just read (Quick read through for instructions) it seems the > remastersys > ISO files available for download are bootable dvd versions which I have to > use to copy my system (Literally speaking).
