Sharing on customizing ubuntu image and create USB stick

Background

Currently, installing the Ubuntu and setting up those machines are my jobs. In order to minimize the duplicated workloads (eg: install apache, python etc), I decided to build a custom image which bundled with those necessary packages at first instead of using the official one directly.

Prerequisite

sudo apt-get install uck
sudo apt-get install unetbootin
A base image for customization.

Steps

  • follow instructions here
the link above guides you how to use UCK and create a USB drive from this image.
  • Alternative for creating USB
In case, the above link does not work for you. UnetBootin is an alternative for you.
  • Further customization
You do not need to add all the things at once. You can always replaced the base image with the one you have built. However, I am still looking for a VCS for this process. Let me know if you have any idea.
