| elacheche | :) | 13:30 |
| yreg | I was looking the other day ffor ways to create **my own distribution** of ubuntu with alfresco, pentaho, imagemagic and few other softwares preinstalled | 13:31 |
| yreg | but failed to find any one on the main ubuntu channel to help with the 4 GB limitation while creating the iso | 13:32 |
| elacheche | Cool idea.. But that raises some questions.. | 13:32 |
| yreg | already tried a few things to get mkiso create the bootable ISO with 6 Gb | 13:33 |
| elacheche | 1# What's the 4GB limitation you're looking for? 2# Why you're need a custom distro with those packages? 3# Is it for fun or production? | 13:33 |
| yreg | but the installation was hanging in an early stage (just after chosing an option on grub menu) | 13:33 |
| yreg | #1 appearently it is something related to some old RFC saying that an ISO should not exceed 4 GB in terms of size | 13:34 |
| elacheche | Oh, OK.. didn't knew that.. | 13:35 |
| yreg | #1 I have a client, with a strict NO-INTERNET policy in his intranet and it is hell alot easier (or that was what I thought) to create a custom distribution with preinstalled and preconfigured packages | 13:36 |
| yreg | than having to fetch those packages and their dependencies manually, backup configuration, and restore it to my customers environment manually ... | 13:37 |
| yreg | s/#1/#2/ | 13:37 |
| elacheche | I see.. That answers the 3rd question as well.. | 13:38 |
| elacheche | OK, I have some ideas in mind | 13:38 |
| yreg | I did investigate the issue further | 13:38 |
| elacheche | But first, you're trying to get a Desktop version or a headless one? | 13:39 |
| yreg | and it turned out that µshell invoking the live system was unable to mount squashfs files that are larger than a certain limit (forgot what the limit was) | 13:39 |
| yreg | but when I try to mount the file on my own ubutu desktop it works like a charm | 13:40 |
| yreg | any would do | 13:40 |
| yreg | Ubuntu / Ubuntu-Server are both viable options | 13:40 |
| elacheche | Great! Then I can share my ideas :D | 13:40 |
| elacheche | Try to use a minimalISO to create your distro, that my ùake it smaller, did you tried this? if so I'm sorry x) | 13:41 |
| elacheche | Don't forget to rm /var/cache/apt/* | 13:42 |
| elacheche | Or you can install ubuntu on a vm(kvm), configure it then for your client, just configure a virtualisation server and use that VM.. | 13:43 |
| yreg | no did not try it, but I got over the ISO size limitation as I managed to switch to mkiso and set a flag so it does not fail on +4Gb iso | 13:43 |
| elacheche | Or instead of that, you can clonezilla it, then restore that clone to the harddirve directly.. | 13:43 |
| yreg | but I got stuck just after the boot menu | 13:43 |
| elacheche | Or, you can fiorget about VMs, and go for docker.. | 13:44 |
| yreg | elacheche, I do not know why I did not think of cloning the hard drive | 13:44 |
| yreg | maybe I though it would eat my disk space like a beast ! | 13:45 |
| yreg | LoL | 13:45 |
| yreg | Docker you say ! | 13:45 |
| elacheche | Emm.. Clonezilla have good options afaik.. | 13:45 |
| elacheche | Docker is cool, but need some practice to know what to do and what to NOT do (espacially that xD ) | 13:46 |
| yreg | I barely convinced my customer to use ubuntu 14.04 instead of his OLD RedHat 7.0 | 13:46 |
| elacheche | I know the stragle with old RHEL | 13:47 |
| yreg | 6.0** | 13:47 |
| yreg | They almost never update their systems | 13:48 |
| elacheche | :) | 13:48 |
| elacheche | Are in Germany ? | 13:49 |
| yreg | Nope, Tunisia | 13:49 |
| yreg | eGov project | 13:49 |
| elacheche | Oh! You're using the German frenode server | 13:49 |
| elacheche | x) sorry, I need an other coffee I guess :) | 13:49 |
| elacheche | BTW, what's with the no-internet policy? | 13:50 |
| yreg | if you are any where near Berges du Lac II, be my guest I would gladly discuss this project further with you on a good coffe :D | 13:51 |
| yreg | Security measure ! | 13:51 |
| elacheche | I'm @Sousse :) | 13:51 |
| yreg | lucky you ! | 13:52 |
| yreg | I will need to get back to work now ! | 13:52 |
| elacheche | Hahaha I know :) | 13:52 |
| yreg | Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me | 13:52 |
| yreg | and have a nice day | 13:53 |
| elacheche | come back anytime to have chitchats :D | 13:53 |
