<br>You try PCLINUXOS. It's the best stripped down version of linux that is Ubuntu like. Plus, it can be installed on a thumb drive<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 9:39 PM, Justin Dearing <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:zippy1981@gmail.com">zippy1981@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Lost me here. Do you mean something other than the deb package? Cuz
what I'm talking about here is running the deb package in a vm,
stripping it down, and then putting the VDI file up there on
sourceforge. So everything will be installed an ready to go.<div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Let me clarify. Every decent OS, and Windows as well, has some sort of "automated install" option where you can make a simple text file to set install options automatically. I've never done this personally, but I'm pretty sure its part of the MCSE, RHCE and whatever Solaris calls its certificate. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The idea being, once you figure out what to strip from the OS, you make an install script that allows you to replicate this install. Initially this seems like a moot point for a virtual image that can easily be copied. However, you get the following:</div>

<li>You can make the script install from a custom .deb (or whatever the frak ubuntu uses) repo and put custom packages in.</li></ol></div></div>
