The idea behind iBuild |
|---|
| 17 |
======================== |
|---|
| 18 |
iBuild is basically a graphical user interface (GUI) for Intellibuild - set of scripts, written in python, designed to simplify the process of creation/remastering of Morphix LiveCD's. Using iBuild one can build his own GNU/Linux LiveCD with his own components, end-user programms and outfit in just a few steps, without extensive knowledge of programming. In short, iBuild allows you to concentrate on your own customizations and content of LiveCD, iBuild will take care for the rest of the remastering process "behind the scenes". |

How does it work? |
|---|
| 21 |
======================= |
|---|
| 22 |
From user's perspective, iBuild is quite simple. You simply open a template with base settings, select (add and/or remove) the programs and insert the content you want to be included into your own GNU/Linux LiveCD and click the "Build" button. When iBuild is done, your custom .iso image of GNU/Linux LiveCD awaits you. All you have to do is to burn it on CD and you are ready to go. |

More behind the scene |
|---|
| 25 |
====================== |
|---|
| 26 |
One of the main components of Intellibuild python scripts in the back of iBuild are patches for each end-user program and settings, which you want to apply into your own GNU/Linux LiveCD. Those paches take care of the installation of Debian .deb packages from the different mirrors (every package with end-user or system program is downloaded from the Internet at the time of build or from proxy/cache). Patches also apply some custom settings onto your GNU/Linux LiveCD. At the end, your GNU/Linux LiveCD is a pure Debian system, which runs from CD and it can also have your personal settings, touch or content. |
