Can Uck be used to customize Mint?

Well....the thread title pretty much says it, huh?
Just wondering. Mint is an Ubuntu derivative, after all.

according to viewtopic.php?f=90&t=8400&p=52081 it should be able to. So long as you're not after anything too complicated, I guess it should work, but in some cases it might assume some components that ubuntu has that mint drops. If you encounter any problems, post them here and hopefully we'll be able to solve them.

Well, now I have tried, and yes, Uck can be used to customize Mint. I have customized, put the resulting Iso on a usb-stick, and installed to harddisk from it. Absolutely wonderful!! Installing from a usb-stick takes less than a quarter of an hour. (I did not time it, it might even be less than 10...)

Hi - I just tried w/

linuxmint-9-lxde-cd-i386.iso

I am running that on my laptop as well. I installed uck and ran uck-gui and all looked great til after the package management section:

/home/joe/tmp/customization-scripts/customize_iso: line 80: cd: /home/joe/tmp/remaster-iso/dists: No such file or directory
Unable to identify Ubuntu distro codename

Im guessing it saw Isadora instead of Lucid?

Any way to work around this?

Do I just open up the command line after package management and manually put an Ubuntu codename where the Linux Mint one was?

Thanks very much!
