[13:30] elacheche, Na3iL thank you both for the warm welcome ! [13:30] :) [13:31] I was looking the other day ffor ways to create **my own distribution** of ubuntu with alfresco, pentaho, imagemagic and few other softwares preinstalled [13:32] but failed to find any one on the main ubuntu channel to help with the 4 GB limitation while creating the iso [13:32] Cool idea.. But that raises some questions.. [13:33] already tried a few things to get mkiso create the bootable ISO with 6 Gb [13:33] 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] but the installation was hanging in an early stage (just after chosing an option on grub menu) [13:34] #1 appearently it is something related to some old RFC saying that an ISO should not exceed 4 GB in terms of size [13:35] Oh, OK.. didn't knew that.. [13:36] #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 [13:37] than having to fetch those packages and their dependencies manually, backup configuration, and restore it to my customers environment manually ... [13:37] s/#1/#2/ [13:38] I see.. That answers the 3rd question as well.. [13:38] OK, I have some ideas in mind [13:38] I did investigate the issue further [13:39] But first, you're trying to get a Desktop version or a headless one? [13:39] 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) [13:40] but when I try to mount the file on my own ubutu desktop it works like a charm [13:40] any would do [13:40] Ubuntu / Ubuntu-Server are both viable options [13:40] Great! Then I can share my ideas :D [13:41] Try to use a minimalISO to create your distro, that my ùake it smaller, did you tried this? if so I'm sorry x) [13:42] Don't forget to rm /var/cache/apt/* [13:43] 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] 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] Or instead of that, you can clonezilla it, then restore that clone to the harddirve directly.. [13:43] but I got stuck just after the boot menu [13:44] Or, you can fiorget about VMs, and go for docker.. [13:44] elacheche, I do not know why I did not think of cloning the hard drive [13:45] maybe I though it would eat my disk space like a beast ! [13:45] LoL [13:45] Docker you say ! [13:45] Emm.. Clonezilla have good options afaik.. [13:46] Docker is cool, but need some practice to know what to do and what to NOT do (espacially that xD ) [13:46] I barely convinced my customer to use ubuntu 14.04 instead of his OLD RedHat 7.0 [13:47] I know the stragle with old RHEL [13:47] 6.0** [13:48] They almost never update their systems [13:48] :) [13:49] Are in Germany ? [13:49] Nope, Tunisia [13:49] eGov project [13:49] Oh! You're using the German frenode server [13:49] x) sorry, I need an other coffee I guess :) [13:50] BTW, what's with the no-internet policy? [13:51] 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] Security measure ! [13:51] I'm @Sousse :) [13:52] lucky you ! [13:52] I will need to get back to work now ! [13:52] Hahaha I know :) [13:52] Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me [13:53] and have a nice day [13:53] come back anytime to have chitchats :D [13:53] Happy to share :) [13:58] I knew the ubuntu-tn community was small, but never expected it to be this small ^^ [13:58] define "small" :( [13:59] #define small [14:00] * akaisora ** thuglife ** [14:00] x) [14:00] xD [14:01] elacheche: what is your company's name? [14:01] In here I'm part of the Ubutnu community :p [14:02] BTW, it's not small.. but there is fiew active members.. :/ :( [14:02] And too many fb members who won't contribute outside fb [14:11] Yeah, sadly. [14:20] yep :/ [14:20] i'll try to contribute whenever i get the chance :) [14:32] :) [18:22] hello
