#2 DIY » Creating a Custom Devuan Iso with Preinstalled Packages » 2021-05-10 17:42:16

I was wondering how I would go about creating a custom devuan iso that comes with packages of my preference out of the box (window manager, cmd utilities etc) so that I don't have to configure anything myself.  The reason I want to do this is to have a perfect copy of my system that I can reinstall in case anything happens to my computer, I also want to be able to share this ISO with my friends so that they can also try my pseudo-distro.  I looked around and found a way to do this in debian using an utility called

live-build

but I don't know if this would work in devuan.  I also found this blog post that addresses the exactly what I want to do but it's from 2015 and it's meant for devuan jesse.  Should I just make a custom debian iso and then devuan-ise-it using this guide. Or is there a way to do this natively?

I don't know if this matters but I plan on installing the following packages in the devuan iso:

  • Dwm Window Manager

  • Vim with my own config

  • Python Packages

  • Gtk & Qt Themes

  • St Terminal

  • Picom compositor

  • Other small packages e.g. youtube-dl cmus etc
