makelivecd or livecd-tools question
Posted: 30 March 2013, 18:08
Hi,
I'm using ROSA Desktop.Fresh release 2012.1 (Desktop) for x86_64
As I'm going on a trip, I'm wondering if I can make a live usb version of my system to take with me, something like is described for remastersys
I don't see makelivecd in the Rosa repos but livecd-tools is there. Never having used this type of program, I start reading the man pages and see this for `man livecd-creator`:
However, the .ks file is not there, the Rosa example doesn't work. In fact there are the following files:
I guess it's a work in progress and I could file a bug but thought I'd ask here. My goal is to make a live version of my running system, preserving the settings (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) and essential programs I can take on the trip on a key. Thanks.
