Customizing Ubuntu ISO

flouran · 2009-05-16, 15:16

Hi,
I have tried the LQ and Ubuntuforums but no one has really answered my question. I have been customizing an Ubuntu ISO (7.10 b/c I haven't bothered to update it yet) for the past year, and the last thing I need to do is to add a nautilus script of mine to it. Basically, when I want the LiveCD to run, I want the nautilus script to be in the, ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts, directory and when the OS is installed onto the hard drive, I would also like the nautilus script to be in that directory as well.

Anyone know how? I tried putting the script in the /etc/skel directory of the unsquashed filesystem, but that didn't work.........

So no one has any ideas? Wow, I guess this question is a hard one. Not even the people over at LQ could properly answer. In the meantime, I will be working on the OS some more to see if I can answer my own question.

I think I will make a Debian package out of my script. In your guys' opinion, what is the best guide for making a Debian package for a n00b?

I figured it out from the UPR website:

Code:

sudo cp -a ~/upr-files/nautilus-scripts/Truecrypt/ \
~/live/edit/etc/skel/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
sudo cp -a ~/upr-files/*.mo ~/live/edit/usr/share/locale/
