It??™s also a good idea to have an active Internet connection during
any remastering because there is almost surely some software you will want to download
in the process.
Damn Small Linux (DSL)??”This is the Linux distribution I have used the most to customize
my own live Linux distributions. DSL does good hardware detection and good
selection of working desktop applications. I can start with the 48MB ISO image, and then
add lots of software and customized features to fill up a CD. In fact, the CD that comes
with the book Linux Toys II (Wiley, 2006) is a remastered version of DSL that includes
software for building Linux Toys projects as well.
If you simply want to install DSL to a pen drive or other media, DSL offers an automated
feature for doing that. Once DSL is on a rewritable pen drive, you can easily add applications
(using the MyDSL feature) and customize desktop features in a way that persists
across reboots.
Puppy Linux??”The project uses its own package management system (called PupGet)
that now offers more than 300 packages you can add to Puppy Linux. By adding and
deleting these packages, you can create a customized version of Puppy Linux. For information
on adding packages and saving your configuration to a custom Puppy Linux
distribution, refer to the Puppy Unleashed feature:
