Changes to bootable USB Stick
Hallo, I want to configure a customizable USB stick with Trisquel for a friend so that all he needs to do when he plugs it in would be to click on "install trisquel" and it's perfect for him. When I make changes to the bootable stick - will those be transfered to his PC once he installs trisquel?
I am especially interested in knowing if the Evolution Email Account Settings and the GNU PG keys etc will be preserved. Also if I change the language, will that change remain?
Thank you
I have never installed to a USB stick so I don't know all the details. You may want to look into the OEM install. Usually it is for computer manufactures. As far as I understand you install the system and then on the first boot it basically just asks the user to enter a username and password and then you are good to go.
As for your second question I'm sorry I don't know. Someone else will have to answer that.
We have a guide to OEM installation here: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/oem-installation. I know this because I was the one who cleaned up the English translation of that page. That's also how I got that translator badge, despite the fact that I haven't actually translated anything.
Fantastic! Thank you
But:OEM would not be the solution because it is a way to prepare the computer so that the user will be in charge of his personal settings, passwords etc.
that is exactly what he is incapable of or unwilling to and what I want to take care of beforehand.
I wonder if I can modify the image on the USB stick so that all his passwords etc. would be in there.
I am trying a software called "Ubuntu Customization Kit" which one can feed a Trisquel Image and than customize it...
.... that failed as well. Building the image ended with the message: "unable to identify ubuntu distro codename
