Title: Creating customized .iso images
Post by: Laudan on March 23, 2013, 06:45:04 PM

Hi

I would like to know if it possible to create a customized .iso image of the Tinycore system.
By 'customized' I mean that it includes the settings and the extensions of my choice.

One way of doing this, of course, would be to manually install the system onto the target storage unit, then adjust the settings and install the extensions, and finally create an .iso image based on the installed system, which will be a sort of 'snapshot' of the installed system. But this is not what I was looking for.
Instead, what I want is a way that allows to create an .iso image by selecting its components, and specifying all the settings, so that that a custom-built .iso image is thus created, ready to be burned and run out-of-the-box immediately thereafter.
Is there any Tinycore tool that allows me to do this?

Thanks

See wiki, keyword "Remastering"

As a new user, you need to spend some time in the wiki.
Try the ezremaster  extension.

Is it possible to "dump" or export  the whole SD/usbkey where my Core lies  into an .img image or something?

I read somewhere I can't do a DD because of the recursive symlinks...

Just use dd. There are no symlinks in play when you copy the raw device.
