How do I install remastersys?

Question

I was following instruction from http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu.html to install remastersys in my system. On apt-get update always get error that the could not find correct structure of URL.

Any help?

Answer 1

Its happening because there is a deb-src line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Either remove or comment this out:-

deb-src http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu precise main

Answer 2

You can install Remastersys in Ubuntu 12.04

As root - issue

'sudo su' 

in the terminal window prior to the following command.

wget -O - http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu/remastersys.gpg.key | apt-key add -

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following line

#Remastersys Precise
deb http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu precise main

Now open the terminal and type

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install remastersys remastersys-gui

Here is the screenshot

Two things - one; I believe they've started up work on Remastersys again.

Two; Relinux seems nice and has a purpose, but it is NOT the same as Remastersys. When it comes to creating installable live CD clones of a system with its installed software, it fails miserably. With Relinux, you get the base OS, plus whatever packages you include via Relinux. Very nice, to be sure, but a far cry from Remastersys's simple elegance of just grabbing and wrapping up everything exactly as it is for your later live-disc amusement.

Relinux may be "better" at making a particular distro, but FAILS MISERABLY if what you want is a live image of your current system.

Answer 4

-Remastersys is no longer supported, actually-. There is a new project, Relinux, that aims to be better than Remastersys ever was, while allowing you to do the same thing (remaster your system).
