An introduction of sorts - Remastersys

[T B]

I stumbled upon a thread among the lists here mentioning remastersys and my username Fragadelic.

It seemed some of you thought the original poster was in fact me but it wasn't.  This is my first post to the list as I just subscribed today.

Anyway, the remastersys project is about creating a livecd backup of your working installed system while you are using the system so it differs from any of the other remastering tools or backup options as it also leaves you with a livecd like the original Ubuntu one and you can also install it back to the hard drive using ubiquity.

The one thing I have come across and can't seem to get by is popularity-contest.  No matter what I do with the package it causes ubiquity to lock up at 94% installation and sometimes it continues.  My only solution so far has been to remove popularity-contest which in turn removes ubuntu-standard while leaving all of the other packages in tact.

I'd like to be able to leave popularity-contest alone as it is part of Ubiquity installer questions.

If you are interested in further info about what or how remastersys works I'd be more than happy to explain it and any help regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated even though I know it is outside the scope of the installer.
