Hello again,

Inspired by theblackpig's cinnamon and xfce respins, I thought it might be a fun learning excercise to try and create my own respin - assuming I can figure out how to use remastersys that is!

My mini "distro" is nearly complete, but obviously I would like to make sure that it runs as well for others as it does for me. Are there any additional packages that would be worth installing to increase hardware compatibility or has all this been taken care of during the net-install?

Thank you.

First of all you don't tell us what is on it ?
Once you have completed it, will be happy to host it for you.

Sorry, I should have said. It's using the unity desktop. I used your guide as a starting point and have ended up with a kind of "trisquel-ised" ubuntu. Seems to run quite well so far, but I wasn't sure if the net installation provided the same core files as found on the main gnome edition, or whether I would need to add anything manually. Does that make sense?

Yes , as I understand it the net installer provides all the base files.
You then go into whatever package manager you installed and add whatever you want. If you want any assistance send me a private message.
