Customizing an ISO to include Radeon graphics drivers

Question

so I recently purchased the Toshiba satellite L7775D laptop. I wanted to install Ubuntu, but I can't even boot a livecd without the graphics card drivers for the proprietary Radeon card. So I need to customize a livecd to include the drivers. Could someone explain how to do this? Thank you.

Answer 1

while booting from the live cd you can add radeon.nomodeset=1 to the boot options so that you can boot up from the standard mesa driver, install Ubuntu from there, then install fglrx driver

OR you can try remastersys, but I assume you have not installed ubuntu already,in that case you need to get a custom iso done from a friend having AMD card with proprietary drivers installed

also note that if you pre-install proprietary drivers it will be hard to revert to OSS drivers as fglrx diverts some files
