Hello Everyone, Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. I've got a lot more information than I did. What I'm thinking is getting each original distro via iso, mounting it via loopback, then copying it out to read/write media. I then can make whatever startup changes needed, and if needed chroot in to it and install any needed packages/compile any needed kernels. Is this correct so far? If it is, how then do I remaster this it would be a directory on host system in to an iso? Thanks. Dave. On 12/1/13, John G. Heim <jheim at math.wisc.edu> wrote: > Have you heard of grml?
