Recently, I’ve been wanting to make a custom live iso with a couple of tools that I need but I really don’t know where to start or what to do… any help?

E: I didn’t phrase my post correctly, I need a portable set of desktop tools for development, running on the gnome desktop

It’s not clear… Do you want a portable USB drive ? If that’s the case it’s easily doable with Arch or Fedora.

If you want a portable USB that you can modify AND flash then… It’s a little more complicated. You can always make a bootable Arch USB then rsync in any existing drive but it seems a little complicated.

What you might want to do is create a simple install script. You can pretty much do it for any distro. It will consume more bandwidth than copying/writing an existing distro but will prevent MANY errors.

With Arch it’s quite simple. I believe it might be as simple with Debian or any other distro.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
