[EN] iso update

[dartex]

hi everyone!

I would know if there is a way to update an .iso, to directly install the updated version?

I want to install siduction in a computer's friend, but I would install it already updated, with localization and maybe some software added. is it possible?

thank you!

Our friend piper once taught me how to use pyfll to build a custom aptosid ISO, using a current kernel, whichever DE I wanted, and selected current packages, and I wrote out the procedure as I learned it, for future use.  But I only used it a couple of times -- I have good Internet service (for an American ....) and just haven't needed to do that again.  I would be happy to share the procedure, but I don't know if it still works like it did in 2010.


@piper ? ? ?

[dartex]

you could try to post your procedure, maybe it's adaptable to current iso...

it was to start from the iso, or from the installed system?

[piper]

Hi dibl, building has changed dramatically over the years, the way you were taught will not work anymore.

It is more organized, and I think easier, but, I didn't feel that way at first .

The OP sounds like he wants a remaster, which we don't do.

Huh -- well, that's kind of the story of my life with technology ... the stuff I knew 5 years ago is worthless today.  With human nature, it all remains the same as I learned it many years ago, so that is all good!

something like that... it is not possible?

or create a persistent usb...

Persistent usb, maybe with some limitations (i.e. kernel),  is possible.

I have done this several times before to have packages that I need at hand when having no internet-connection on boot-up.

The procedure to create this is included in the siduction-installer and also within an standalone-program (have a look at package install-usb-gui)

thank you, but it doesn't work.
it doesn't find a file in the folder "/tmp/.xxxx"

[ReinerS]

hmm, never had this.
I could do apt-get updates, install packages without problems.
But I have to admit this was some months ago.

Maybe I have to give it a new try to see if something changed.

Format it to ext2 and try again

I haven't used this in ages, so I am not sure how "up to date" this is but you can try

http://manual.siduction.org/hd-install-opts#usb-hd

and look for the

fromiso and persist on bootable USB-sticks/SD/flash-cards

section

done with ext2, always same error:

Code: [Select]

Avviso: Impossibile trovare «/tmp/.ZoXPa414I8», avvio di «/bin/bash» al suo posto. Controlla le impostazioni del tuo profilo.
(impossible find /tm/.xxxxx, start bash. check profile settings)

[ReinerS]

Did you try it within an pure console or within an terminal-console within X ?

It should be run within X, and there should be a link on the desktop (if I remember it right) and also within the menue, probably under System.

Also I would suggest at, least with the 2013 releases, to make an apt-get update and the install the newest install-usb.gui via apt-get install install-usb-gui. I remember that there had been issuses and the newsest should be used.

I tryed with gui (menu-system), and from konsole.

I have latest version, 0.3.20.



I'm trying from another computer, it started to install it (it has required root password), then a message appeared: "grub-install failed, root-directory=/tmp/install.usb.xxxxx, device /dev/sdb STOP". 

[ReinerS]

I just installed in onto my box.
When calling install-usb-gui.bash, here the window for the gui comes up and complains (in my case correct as I didn't prepare an usb-stick).
Do you get that far at all?
