Hacking the Slackware install DVD
in [Slackware]

From: Mike Jones on 9 Jan 2010 07:12 Anybody got any URLS regarding hacking the Slackware install DVD? I want to rip some bits out, stick some other bits in, and drop in a bunch of pre-set configs, so I can just whack my own "standard" install in my machines as I need to reinstall.

IMHO, an easier way is the following: (i) prepare custom tags with only ADD and SKP and a tarball with all your configs, (ii) perform installation using custom tags, (iii) unpack the `configs' tarball as needed. Also, it's handy to have a script or two that `fix' a freshly installed or updated system the way you like. They can be used every time you update a package. -- Mikhail

I've already created and deployed a comprehensive post-install customisation pack, including new Slack packages, and a list of rip-outs, a bunch of custom configs, and so on. What I'm looking to do is avoid having to do a post-install thing and simply have all this already on my install DVD so it's ready to fly after a single install operation. I'll also be looking at pre-setting various options, like a UK keyboard, time set to Europe-London, and so on. My problem is that I can't find\figure out what needs to be customised, or how to begin tweaking things. I need a few pointers here. -- *=( http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ *=( For all your UK news needs.
