3 'Problems': wlan, fstab, bootscreen

[bendover]

Hi,

I have set up a "original system" with Kubuntu 11.10, 64bit and I'm trying to create a LiveCD with Remastersys 3.0.0.1.

I need this LiveCD for several PCs (all same Hardware).  I rent Houses, and they have PCs which my customers can use. The Idea is to have "unbreakable" Systems.

After several attemps I still face three problems:

1. wlan
Allthough I set up Wlan as standard connection (kde-network-manager) in my original System, in the LiveSystem its allwasy set to ethernet and wont connect autom. with Wlan. Why? How can I set the LiveSystem to auto. connect to the Wlan?

2. fstab
I have a partition (ext4) for which I used an entry in fstab to automount. But this is not working after creating the LiveSystem. The part. is not mounting itself, it needs to be clicked in Dolphin. Why? How can I set the LiveSystem to use my fstab or to automount that part.?

3. Bootscreen
Since I don't want my customers to actually install the System I would like do delete that part of the bootscreen. Best would be if there wouldn't be any options at all... just press power on the pc and then the system starts.. How can I do that?

Do I have a wrong imagination of what remastersys does? Is it the wrong program for my needs? Am I to stupid? Please help!

Please excuse my bad english, I hope its understandable though, If something is not clear I try to explain it better.

Thanks very much in advance!

1 - you'll have to edit /usr/bin/remastersys and comment out the lines that remove the wlan settings before remastering.

2 - this is part of ubuntu casper live boot so you will have to modify the casper scripts before remastering

3 - modify the /etc/remastersys/isolinux/isolinux.cfg.menu before remastering.

Hi fragadelic

thanks for your quick help! I appreciate it very much!

I dont get the /usr/bin/remastersys correctly configured... there are only 4 lines which I can identify as relevant to the network settings:

Code:

#rm -rf $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf &> /dev/null
#rm -rf $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf &> /dev/null
#ls $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections | xargs -i rm $WORKDIR/dummysys/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/{} ; &> /dev/null

I tried to comment out these lines (as you can see) and failed. After the changes the LS still wont use the wlan interface auto.. Can u help me a little more.. which lines do I have to comment out?

Then I noticed something else: When shutting down the LiveSystem the CD Drive opens and I have to press Enter to finally kill the system. Could you tell me how to disable that.

Again, thank you very much!

Sounds like you need to rewrite ubuntu's casper scripts to accomplish what you want.  Most of what you need to change now is all in the casper scripts and it outside the scope of remastersys.
