How to include custom programs in UCK on 7.04 LiveCD?

Asked by Asfaq

Hi there. I am trying to make an Ubuntu 7.04 custom Live CD. I reach a point where the program has asked me every setting that it needs to know and then starts extracting the ISO, after that, the UCK Package Manager loads up. Here is where i normally get stuck. I dont know how to slipstream the data into the custom cd temp directory. Eg: If i want Scribus, do i just select the scribus package for installation or do i only download the package files and not install them, if so, where do i put the same?

Another thing i noticed was that i dont get any screen where i can customise the usplash screens for the boot sequence etc.

Am pasting the terminal console contents below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hm, I don't quite understand. When package manager opens up, just install the necessary apps and quit the package manager.

As for splash screen, there is no option to do it in GUI, you have to use scripts.
