promotion ideas

[Gordon Dey]

I didn't 'use' anything in the sense of a specific package. I went to the wiki 
and just followed the instructions for customising a live cd posted there. In a 
nutshell, you grab an existing iso, pull out the squashfs, chroot into it and 
tweak it, then back out, remake the squashfs, put it back and patch up the 
md5sums. Here's the url to the wiki page I used:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization?highlight=%28live%29%7C%28cd%29

It's not rocket science, just tedious. I haven't figured out how to test the 
changes I made to ubiquity before re-squashing, so the test cycle was longer 
that it could be. Radical (i.e. broken) changes means the dm won't come up, 
Wash, rinse, try again. Note also that a directory of pictures squashed won't 
be visible to, say, a bog standard dvd player. Any directory that is, however, 
will be under /cdrom/ on the booted unbuntu box.

Give it a try: not too tough!
