Create Debian 9 (Stretch) minimal ISO similar to DebianDog

[fredx181]

Wow !! Looks great Bob !

You've been creative in adding/modyfing stuff, is this done initially with the XFCE option from mklive-stretch ? Hard to recognize.

Any chance that you'd share your creation ? Would be a nice addition to the Dog kennels

For aficionados of the Simple Python HTTP Server (ie. people who got tired of fighting with Samba), here are some additional tools.

I will try that.
In my search for a very light and simple web server (to avoid always using xampp) I ended up with
Hiawatha. It is very light.
If anyone is interested I have made a squashfs file for it.
Link is here :
hiawatha_10.6_amd64.deb_webserver_v02.squashfs (64bit): https://1fichier.com/?9u4o4w2xo9
hiawatha_10.8.3_i386.deb_webserver_v03.squashfs (NEW 32bit) : https://1fichier.com/?iazevg3ls3cqdl2mtcxh

The modifications I made are that the web folder is in /opt/lampp/htdocs ( this is the default xampp web folder)


An alternative full webserver option is xampp (which I use in all my OSes cause it's portable)

Sorry if it's a silly question, It's possible to build a 64 bit version with the script?

Time ago i did it for the 32bit version, and I've been using it as my main system since then, the machine it's 64bit capable, so wanted to try the 64b to see how it goes.

Thanks.

Saludos.

Yes, but only if you run the script from a 64-bit OS, then it will automatically build a 64 bit version.
Preferably from a Debian or Ubuntu based OS, but it's tested to work also from Puppy or Fatdog.
Running it from e.g. the "Debian-Stretch-Live Starter Kit" 64-bit from rcrsn51 will guarantee that it works.

Mmmm... 44 minutes to answer Fred, you can do it better...

Just kidding,

THANKS

Hi Fred!

... is this done initially with the XFCE option from mklive-stretch ? ... Any chance that you'd share your creation?

Yep - Xfce mklive-stretch option, with some generous tweaking/remastering afterwards. That's one of the great things about Xfce - very tweakable and easy to modify to one's liking, very functional, yet still quite reasonably "lightweight". I'll post a link to the .iso here eventually - after some more minor tweaks and testing. But it's pretty darn big at the moment - about 480Mb, I think...

I'm not a "coder" at all, but what I can do - and enjoy most doing - is modifying the appearance/visual aspects of the Linux desktop (my Gtk2 & 3 theming, Xfce window decorations and conky being displayed in the above screenshot). Making things more polished, "professional" looking... and functioning. The Devil's in the details! So many distribution's desktop environments have quite a lot of that "polish" capability built-in, but seemingly very little effort gets applied towards that end - so little of that capability is being used, OOTB. A significant part of the reason Linux still has so little share of the home/desktop market, IMHO, and for the life of me I can't figure out why the heck that is...

Plus... I'm just sooo danged tired of the typical, fashionable, too-bright-and-cold/eye-straining blueish and gray tones and flat, mono-chromatic look of common Gtk themes & icons, etc (really terrible stuff, functionally, when you get right down to examining these aspects!) - and I enjoy addressing those things. It's simply too much fun - and something I can actually do!

Thank you, sir!

Bob

Maybe the Dogs should have a FAQ (similar to the Puppy FAQ), for its many users, that states that Puppy is accepted as being allowed to share its kennel - after all it is a bigger Dog if we are going to be truthful about this.

Creating a FAQ for the " Dogs " would be an excellent idea !

Can someone point me to the instructions to run vlc as root? I know it is documented some where, but Google isn't finding it.

Thanks.

I was able to use this to create an .squashfs file by creating it using apt2sfs, running the script command at your link to patch /usr/bin/vlc, and then using edit-sfs to cut and paste the patched /usr/bin/vlc file into the .squashfs file.

Or you could do it in one step using repo2sfs.

is there gconf-editor
squashfs?

see image...

Hi Zagreb !
There is a fantastic Tool/App somewhere in the Menu ( i am posting from Bionic Dog ) Menu>System>AptToSfs
Maybe in Debian Dog it will be found in Menu>Modules ......or Others .
In your Example:
1.Start AptTosfs
2. Just type in gconf-editor ------choose the (mounted ) Linux Partition where you want to save your created gconf-editor.squashfs ...... follow Steps ---in the End choose your compression ....and delete temporary Folder
and it will spit out your gconf-editor.squashfs module -----ready to use .
This can be done with always every programm for example libreoffice ....or ...or ...
All you need is the "correct" spelling of the Program you want to create a squashfs module from .
Dead easy .......there is no risk in it .
Sadly AptToSfs will be overlooked often .
Fantastic Tool ....one of my Favorite .
Most of the Programms i use are created with AptToSfs .....cause i prefer loading Programs on demand....not installing them .
Maybe also have a look at SFS-Portable App (somewhere in the menu ).Experiment with it ....nothing can go wrong .
In Combination with squashfs or sfs Modules it will give you a lot of Options
using (squash)Program-Modules in a flexible Way.

So there is no need for Fred to make a gconf-editor.squashfs....you can do it on your own with this power and useful little Devil called AptToSfs .

Could you please provide the cut and pasted /usr/bin/vlc file....where and what to paste into which ?

Thanks in Advance !

thanks backi,
you are genius

i Knew all that you
explained...

BUT I CAN NOT CREATE GCONF-EDITOR...

IF YOU ARE SO CAPABLE,
PLEASE DO IT YOURSELF
AND DO POST HERE...

best wishes!!!
