Hints

Setup

Installing penguin-eggs

I used penguin-eggs to create the iso file.

Installing penguin-eggs:

git clone https://github.com/pieroproietti/get-eggs
cd get-eggs
sudo ./get-eggs

Creating an Image

1. Use sudo eggs kill to remove all old images
2. Use sudo eggs produce to create a new image
   1. Set values during installation!

Configuration

Change the username and password for the live system under /etc/penguins-eggs.d/eggs.yaml.

You can use sudo eggs tools skel -u <username> to copy all files form a user home to /etc/skel. All files in the /etc/skel directory will be available to the live user after producing the egg! (NOTE You have to rebuild the egg after adding new files!)

I believe its easier to just copy the config files you need directly and not use the eggs tools skell command.
