I have to find a solution for the special needs of my company and now i getting struggle, i have the following problem.
The order: Create a bootable Linux DVD with special RDP settings.
We have many (not so) old computers and we want to recycle them as Thin-Client, but without any HD, therefore the Linux-DVD. The DVD should boot and after starting the Desktop the RDP-Connection should connection.
What i have done: - Write the RDP-Scripts to start with the desktop. - "Play" with mounting, sqaushfs and tools like remastersys
Where i struggle: Tools like remastersys don't suit me needs, i need special seetings (as explained). I try to customize a Ubuntu-Iso in this way that it start a desktop and then an RDP-Session. I used squashfs to extract the ISO but how do is customize it to use it as it need? Where i have to place the files and wrap it back to iso? How can i add a predefined Desktop to an ISO-Image?(I think this would solve my problems)
Thx for the help :-)
PS: plz don't consider my orthography :-)

seems like reinventing the wheel when there is Thinstation already existing for this purpose. It can start from CD/DVD and it can also (a little harder to set up) boot diskless, retrieving its boot image from a local server.

Thinstation can do this, it doesn't need a server... – gogoud – 2015-04-01T11:09:59.950
ok thx, i will check it out. – jaSon – 2015-04-01T11:12:35.900
Thinstation may work but its not so well documented. Isn't possible to open an image (i.e. with squashfs) and pack it again? I just need a predefined desktop with some files, not a complete new distro. – jaSon – 2015-04-02T08:23:37.373
