Reconstructor

Thanks to the glut of weird little apps included in Ultimate Edition 1.8, I was exposed to a little gem called reconstructor, which reportedly lets you roll your own modified Ubuntu ISO.

reconstructor - home

I intend to play with it today. It requires an ISO of either the LiveCD, Alternate, or Server version of Ubuntu, which I'm downloading now. This could be fun.

Well, that was disappointing. Reconstructor's configuration options leave much to be desired. I'm considering looking at another tool that basically takes your current install (configurations and all with the option of your user account for backups) and makes that into an installable CD, sort of like a ghost image.

I am using PartImage for last seven months and it works perfectly. It creates bootable .iso images. Its available in PartedMagic LiveCD.

I use Ubuntu Reconstructor, and I use it incredibly well. But a person is going to have to pay me money for my advice.

omgz, teaser.

Ubuntu Feisty can allow the insertion of video drivers, and they are activated after logging out and logging back in.

And they said you couldn't use video drivers. pah.

Ubuntu Gusty really can't do that (probably can), and I haven't found out how yet. I'm not too concerned because of the Screens and Graphics option.

But xorg.conf does get re-implemented after a re-login for both OSs, which is best with a VESA-type setup.
