I have been using Linux since I was in the 7th grade. I took Linux up seriously in my high school years at Yorktown High School's Computer Science class, taught by JeffreyElkner.
I first heard of Ubuntu in January of 2005. I have since installed Ubuntu on all my boxes. I attended Ubuntu Down Under in Sydney, Australia.
I will participate on Ubuntu's DCTeam and actively help to pioneer the creation of Edubuntu.
Documentation on making a modified version of Sugar on a Stick per Jeff Elkner's specifications:
First, download Sugar on a Stick from: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick#Download_locations
Mount the ISO readwrite by creating a new directory, eg, /home/colin/newiso, then sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/colin/Desktop/soas-strawberry.iso /home/colin/newiso You now have readwrite access to that ISO image and can modify it as you please.
Creating a Live USB Customized Ubuntu 9.04 stick:
Acquire boot.img.gz from: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/
From the Ubuntu page : http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Install_from_USB_drive with a few spelling corrections 
Plug in your usb drive
Unmount the usb drive: type umount /dev/sdb1 (or whatever device your pen drive is).
Type sudo zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdb (this will extract the contents of boot.img.gz into the usb stick),
You may get a permission denied message when you try this, if so type: sudo chmod 666 /dev/sdb and then type sudo zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdb (it should now work)
Unplug and replug stick. This will cause usb stick to mount automatically. If not, mount it manually.
Copy alternative cd iso onto stick or the root of a partition on the HD of the target machine.
Reboot using usb and enjoy!
Now this is how to create a bootable USB image of Ubuntu 9.04. BUT. We want to modify the contents of the ISO image to include GASP and geany. We use the same process to mount
To remaster a Ubuntu 9.04 installation to create a live CD use the following steps: (credit due: http://www.techsupportteam.org/forum/linux-alternative-os/3993-customizing-k-ubuntu-linux-live-cd.html)
Customizing a (K)Ubuntu Linux Live CD Remastersys is a tool that can be used to do 2 things with an existing Klikit or Ubuntu or derivative installation.It can make a full system backup including personal data to a live cd or dvd that you can use anywhere and install. It can make a distributable copy you can share with friends. This will not have any of your personal user data in it.
Install Remastersys in Ubuntu
The Remastersys repository needs to be added to your /etc/apt/sources.list Code:
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
Paste the following into the sources.list:
Code:
# Remastersys # deb http://www.linuxmint.com/repository romeo/ deb http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/repository remastersys/
Save and exit the file.
Update the source list using the following command Code:
sudo apt-get update
Install remastersys using the following command Code:
sudo apt-get install remastersys
This will complete the installation
Using Remastersys
In order to learn how you can use remastersys, run Code:
sudo remastersys
remastersys Syntax
sudo remastersys backup|clean|dist [cdfs|iso] [filename.iso]
remastersys Examples
1) to make a livecd/dvd backup of your system Code:
sudo remastersys backup
2) to make a livecd/dvd backup and call the iso custom.iso Code:
sudo remastersys backup custom.iso
3) to clean up temporary files of remastersys Code:
sudo remastersys clean
4) to make a distributable livecd/dvd of your system Code:
sudo remastersys dist
5) to make a distributable livecd/dvd filesystem only Code:
sudo remastersys dist cdfs
6) to make a distributable iso named custom.iso but only if the cdfs is already present Code:
sudo remastersys dist iso custom.iso
cdfs and iso options should only be used if you wish to modify something on the cd before the iso is created. An example of this would be to modify the isolinux portion of the livecd/dvd
Creating An ISO Image
To create an iso image of your installation, simply run Code:
sudo remastersys dist
This will create an iso image called customdist.iso in the /home/remastersys directory. The dist option makes that your personal folder (e.g. /home/ruchi) will not be included in the iso image. You might have to insert your Ubuntu installation CD during the process.
/home/remastersys/customdist.iso is ready to be burned or tested in a virtual machine.
Check the size and if it is larger than 700MB you will need to burn it to a dvd
796M /home/remastersys/customdist.iso
Clean Up
After you’ve burnt the iso image onto a CD/DVD, you can run Code:
sudo remastersys clean
to remove all temporary file created during the iso generation as well as the /home/remastersys directory.
