All About How To

hi guys,

Let’s talk about ‘remaster’, what is it? With a simple words we can say, ‘remaster’ is how we can build our own Operating System that reflecting ourself. However, in this case, ‘remaster’-ing is when we modifying an Operating System to be what we want to. That will be including changing the themes, applications, or anything else. So, let’s get in on…

Before beginning to remaster something, we have to preparing the list of application that have to be installed, the image for backgroud, themes, logo, and everything…If we got that, remastering will be just finish in an hour. Incredible isn’t it?

Now, I’m using openSuSE 11.2. Actually, we can do the ‘remastering’ thing directly on our computer. But, i found this “incredible” site. The site that allow us to ‘remastering’ an Novell Operating System. All we have to do is register to the site, then follow the steps. It is “susestudio.com” , the site that providing us to remaster/rebuild the Novell Operating System. This site use “kiwi” as the back-ends. I assume u have no problem to the register and signing in. Now let’s follow the steps.

1. Choose what template of remaster do you want, here I choose “gnome” template.

2. Create the name of your own Operating System

3. Go to the “Software” tab, here you can add or remove any package or pattern. And in case u need to upload any rpm file or add the another repository. A little tips, you should know what application do you need according the list had you made before.

4. When done with add/removing application. go to the “Configuration” tab. Here you can configure any necessary configuration, like keyboard lay-out, language, artwork, and everything else. In the “Personalize” sub menu, you can upload your own logo’s and background image.

5. After that, you can just go to the build tab to build the Operating System.

So, it’s pretty easy isn’t it?
