Making Bootable CD from personalized Mepis

allifm · 12-15-2005, 01:25 PM

I am a newbie at Mepis, but love it on my old Windoz 98. Works like a charm. I have personalized it for my own use and have taken out and added packages that I wanted in it. My question is: Is there any way of making a backup live cd or a bootable cd with my personalized Mepis on it. If so, I would need step by step instructions on how to do this.

Thank you,

Give this a look. While it may focus on morphix the software can be used with any linux distro.

Also, the latest Linux Format magazine (LXF74) has step-by-step instructions on how to do this with any distro. Though in the tutorial they use knoppix as the example, but since mepis is based on debian and so is knoppix this should not be a problem.

And here's another tut.

Please post back how you did.

You can make a bootable cd/dvd of your setup using mondo, but it isn't a live cd/dvd.

Mepis is based on debian, yes...therefor it is knoppix is a no however...
AFAIK, Mepis has its own installer and OSCenter and it is not knoppix based. Kanotix is based on knoppix, and even according to Klaus Knopper has done a bit of improving upon the "knoppix installer." Mepis is its own breed of debian derivative, but one of the most debian compatible i have tried and one of the easiest to install and configure.
