Remastersys: removing files from the ISO
I downloaded Remastersys, and have made an ISO of my system. How do I remove stuff from it? It's too large to fit onto a CD, and I don't have a DVD-RW drive.

(mount the iso as a loopback device
Code:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 discimage.iso /mnt/loop/ then re-make the iso using mkisofs Code:
mkisofs -r -o /tmp/disk1.iso /tmp/contents/ |
well
I think you need to first delete files or remove any unnecessary apps and orphaned libs also, clear your browsers cache/history and remove anything you dont need I've made like 20 remastersys ubuntu's and debians, some manaully some with remastersys, in the last week! the way I did it it was I installed a minimal system via net-install (via netbootcd) I unchecked everything during install, no desktop, no base system I then rebooted after install and started apt-get'ing apps like lxde, gimp, etc after adding just minimal stuff I kicked in remastersys backup and kept adding stuff till I hit 670MB+kernel/initrd my Canabix-LXDE iso is a remastersys make I actually made 2 one is lxde using remastersys/ubuntu http://community.canabix.org/smf/index.php?topic=71.0 and the other is my grml-magix manual remaster http://community.canabix.org/smf/index.php?topic=70.0 check em out if you want |
Okay, but could the problem be that remastersys included my home folder in the ISO and everything there, thereby inflating the ISO? I can't tell, because I don't know how to see everything that it put into the ISO.

You can see what you've put by mounting the iso, read my last post
|
the contents of the iso are a squashfs filesystem
mounting the iso isn't going to help you can mount the squashfs too but, did you do remastersys backup? or did you do the distributable cd? the backup includes everything in /home/user if you dont want /home added, using remastersys gui use the exclude files option |
I selected remastersys backup--I think. I'll do "distributable CD" next time.
