remastersys not in testing repos...what to do?

linux-howto

http://crunchbanglinux.org – I'm getting fairly close to where I'm ready to make an ISO of my modified #! installation -- and then I found that remastersys isn't available in the waldorf/testing repos (scratching my head...).  I did find that it's in the stable repos though, but I'm a bit hesitant to mix stable and testing repos out of concern that it may screw up my system.  Is this really safe to do, even though it doesn't sound like a good idea on the surface?Also, does anyone who's ever used remastersys know if it gives you the ability to customize how the GRUB screen works (HowTos)

Distro hopping looking for help 2 years 42 weeks ago

Lately I've found my self unhappy with Ubuntu (10.04)

I'm torn between two distros.

Debian Testing: What I like: Rolling release (replacing squeeze with testing) Apt-Get Repos are huge and all encompassing

openSuse 11.3 What I like: Yast is a very powerful tool 1 click installs are pretty nice Clean professional

While im testing custom iso resulted by remastersys the following message appears for all choices:

could not find ramdisk image /casper/initrd.gz

Hi, After I installed opensuse from DVD, I wanted to add KDE and Mozilla repos with priorities like this:

Code: linux-q1du:/home/baris # zypper lr -d

Have had this one for a couple of days, figured it would have cleared up by now, after a yum clean all:

Code: Error: Package: python3-sleekxmpp-1.1.11-2.fc18.noarch (updates)           Requires: python3-dns There is apparently no python3-dns package in the main repos, but it is in testing so either it's a spurious dependency or it's supposed to be in the release re

For a long time I have been using the thunderbird stable ppa to ensure I had the most recent stable version.

Chromium Unstable 1 year 5 weeks ago

Hi,

Chromium Stable is available for F17 as well as F16 and F15, etc... However Unstable is only available in the Fedora repo's up to F15.

This brings two questions forward:

-Why is this, shouldn't it be the other way around? As in Unstable available for F17-F16 and stable stopping at F15 or F16.

-Is it still possible to get Unstable for F16?

Customising ubuntu LiveCD with our own flavors is a dream of ever ubuntu user. Remastersys is the solution. Previously some there was some problem for remastering Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic koala). Karmic Koala is using Grub 2, remastersys is designed for grub 1. Now Remastersys is redesigned for ubuntu 9.10 with grub 2 and it is working.
