“Create a custom Linux installer online.” was penned precisely on 12 February, 2006 03:03 PM, which happened to be a Sunday. but you know what? dullneon.com's random notes has now moved to a new location.
Using a bunch of Perl scripts, Instalinux lets your tailor-make your own Linux CD with only the packages/programs you need, all via a Web interface. After choosing your install options and your choice of distro (they have Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Fedora, Debian & Suse), Instalinux spits out an ISO file for you to burn onto a CD. Even if you don’t have a spare machine to install Linux into, there are instructions for carrying out some dark magic with LinuxCOE & VMWare Player as well. Very neat stuff.
this was published on 12 February in the year 2006, which was a Sunday. anyway, all this is old and archived. everything has been now been moved, so head on down to the revamped almost daily random notes (unless of course you like this old stuff too much to part with it).
