Hello all<br>
<br>
I was hoping to email on Sunday night or Monday, but got caught up
reviewing the code for remastersys...

I have managed to put together what I believe will be able to be a
workflow that will allow even teachers themselves to make their own
customized ISO images in the future :-)<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks very much for this work! <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

I have prepped a final demo CD with some relevant customizations; I
will seed this over bittorrent for demo if anyone is interested, or
just share some screenshots?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I will pull it down tomorrow morning Pacific time, and see if I can boot my machine from it.

So if this customization workflow is acceptable, only two more items
need to be addressed:<br>
<br>
1/ preseed file for making the install unattended (my customization
method still requires initial input from user, but after that
everything comes pre-installed)<br>
<br>
The main question is about /how to find out/ what the options are we
are actually looking for...<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I am not sure what you mean by "options". Are you referring to the apps that the users will use? Those apps are listed in the sandbox google doc.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

My next intention is, if we can't set up a PXE server from scratch,
to make a home-grown solution. I'm thinking of remastering a CD to
contain a script that'll auto-partition, mkfs and mount /dev/sda,
then just rsync over the network...<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't understand what you just said. All I know is that James Howard made us a CD that would just cause the client to download a full and completely customized distro over the network. If I understand you correctly, that is where you are getting stuck? <br><br></div><div>Thanks again for everything, Tai! <br></div></div></div></div>
