[OpenIndiana-discuss] How to remaster the OpenIndiana's usb/iso image?

[Hung Nguyen Gia]

On MX Linux, we have the technology to doing so. It's very straight forward using graphical tools.

Let me describe what I wanted to do. For example, the OI live system doesn't have the compiler tool chain installed. I want to make a usb/iso image of OI with the build-essential package installed. How could I do it?

I imagined the procedure could be:

Install OI into disk. Update the system and install the build-essential package. Then using rsync to sync the running system into a directory. Extract the OI usb/iso image. After that, using lofiadm to make a .zlib image of that directory to replace the .zlib image on the OI usb/iso image. Then using appropriate tools to rebuild the OI usb/iso image.

Would that work? Thanks.

p/s: It's much better if OI has the graphical tools to help doing it like MX Linux does, though.
