[solved] Remastering with personalization
Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2012 4:17 pm
Hi. I'm remastering Mint 13 Mate to use primarily with our Local Linux Users Group. I followed the mintconstructor.py guide found in the forums. I've been successful in installing the applications I want like Chrome, Truecrypt, and Teamviewer. The .iso boots just fine on a USB using unetbootin. The only thing left to do is tweak the desktop to my liking. Iv'e searched the forums and the Googs, but have not been able to find a solution.
I have a few issues to work through, but the first is moving the mate-panel.
I like to have a single panel on top and avant-window-navigator on the bottom (yes like the mac). I can't figure out how to change the global setting for the mate-panel to set it to "top" by default. I found lots of forum posts showing you how to change it as a user, but I want it on top on the lve cd/usb.
Later I'll figure out how to change the default wallpaper and launch the dock by default.
The only other issue I had is that I can't perform an apt-get-upgrade. When I do, the build fails in a bunch of errors and I have to start all over. It would be nice to give out live cds/usbs with the latest software.
I am new to remastering, so any help is appreciated.
