Title: Customizable Bitcoin LiveDisk - Armory/Electrum/VanityGen/... Post by: greBit on June 13, 2013, 01:26:36 PM I've recently been playing around with Ubuntu with the aim of developing user-customizable live CD/DVDs/USB disks.
It works as follows: 1. User downloads(or builds) and burns a liveDisk .iso image. 2. User boots it up. Adds software. Creates encrypted wallets. Makes it pretty. 3. User 'reproduces' the system as a new .iso and writes it to CD/DVD or USB disk ... I currently have a very basic bitcoin livedisk version which can be downloaded (768mb) here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4kVxAbllVkIWXhKZlo3bXJyS00/edit?usp=sharing (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4kVxAbllVkIWXhKZlo3bXJyS00/edit?usp=sharing) It contains:

The build process is as follows: Building the bootstrap.iso 1. Install Vagrant www.vagrantup.com Code: git clone git://github.com/willish/livedisk_bootstrap.git . Building the liveDisk-bitcoin distro 1. Find a decent sized USB flash disk (8gb would do nicely). **This will be completely wiped!** 2. Boot the 'bootstrap.iso`. Select 3rd boot option (with flash storage) 3. `sudo livedisk-init-flash /dev/sdX` (where /dev/sdX is replaced by the path to your USB device) 4. `sudo livedisk-install bitcoin` (and wait a while!) 5. Reboot and again select 3rd boot option 6. Customize your distro! Save your modified distro to a new .iso 1. `sudo livedisk-reproduce flash` to make your customized liveDisk .iso |
