PROJECT REMASTERING DENGAN REMASTERSYS SISTEM OPERASI II Dosen : Gede Suweca :: DISUSUN OLEH :: Ni Luh Rista Ariani (090010391) Putu Riantini (090010311) SEKOLAH TINGGI MANAJEMEN INFORMATIKA DAN TEKNIK KOMPUTER STIKOM BALI 2011 REMASTERING DENGAN REMASTERSYS Sebelum kita melakukan Remastering sebaiknya kita ketahui terlebih dahulu apa itu Remastering, Dalam bidang software remastering dapat diartikan sebagai sebuah proses pembungkusan ulang paket aplikasi pada sistem operasi dimana kita bisa menambah bahkan bisa juga mengurangi paket aplikasi yang disertakan. Bisa dikatakan bahwa remastering merupakan proses pembuatan sistem operasi baru dengan paket aplikasi yang berbeda dari sistem aslinya (default). Dengan remastering memungkinkan kita untuk menambah atau mengurangi paket aplikasi di sistem operasi yang ada dengan paketa plikasi yang baru. Istilah lain yang biasanya digunakan adalah operating system deployment atau slipstream istilah ini biasanya dikenal dilingkungan windows, dimana sebuah Sistem windows yang telah ada ditambahkan driver ataupun software tambahan dibundel kembali menggunakan imaging software atau wim image. Dalam melakukan Remastering saat ini kami menggunakan Remastering dengan REMASTERSYS, Remastersys merupakan tools yang terinspirasi dari fungsi mklive script pada distro Mandriva yang dapat digunakan untuk membackup sistem ada dua hal menarik yang dapat dilakukan remastersys pada distro linux debian based. 1. membuat full sistem backup termasuk personal data ke live cd/dvd yang dapat dingunakan di manapun dan dapat di instal (mirip ghost pada windows 2. dapat digunakan untuk membuat salinan dari sistem anda untuk di bagikan ke teman- teman. Tapi tanpa ada data dari user sebelumnya. :::Hal – Hal yang di perlukan ::: 1. Sediakan makanan ringan dan minuman sambil menunggu proses instalasi yang memakan banyak waktu. 2. Laptop yang sudah terinstall Linux, sebaiknya gunakan Ubuntu/XUbuntu 3. laptop harus terkoneksi dengan internet 4. download software remastersys di http://sourceforge.net/projects/remastersys/files/remastersys-debian- squeeze/remastersys_2.0.22-1_all.deb/download :::Langkah – langkah ::: 1. buka software remastersys yang telah terdownload tadi 2. ini adalah tampilan remastersys yang telah terbuka 3. Klik tombol install maka akan tampil seperti di bawah ini 4. Masuukan Pasword anda setelah itu next 5. sembari menunggu proses installasi silakan anda makan dan minum yang telah anda sediakan 6. jika proses instalasi telah selesai buka sytem-->Administration-->Remastersys Backup 7. Sebelum menjalankan remastersys lakukan perubahan dalam linux anda, misalnya merubah tampilan, font, Bahasa dll 8. Jalankan Remastersys jika dimintai password masukkan password anda 9. Hasil Remastersys yang telah di jalankan 10. Kami memilih Dist karena kami ingin membuat live CD 11. ini dalah tampilannya 12. Klik Botom OK, maka akan keluar tampilan seperti di bawah ini 13. Tekan Buttom Ok 14. setelah menekan Buttom ok maka akan muncul tampilan seperti di bawah ini 15. sembari menunggu proses loding apabila masih tersedia makanan dan minuman silakan nikmati jika tidak tersedia maka silakan Fban 16. setelah selesai maka akan keluar tampilan seperti di bawah ini 17. Tekan Buttom Ok karena hanya buttom itu yang tersedia 18. Akan muncul tampilan seperti pada gambar no. 9 lalu pilih Quit -->OK 19. maka anda akan keluar dari remastersys 20. Hasil Remastersys tersebut dapat di lihat pada ho me/remastersys/remastersys 21. Jika Anda ingin menjalankannya virtual box atau Live Cd Kunjungi blog kami : Ristaaabelokh.wordpress.com Riantinibelog.wordpress.com .

Creating a Live Iso with Remastersys
Creating a live iso with Remastersys John Nash nashjc _ at _ uottawa.ca 20131003 OCLUG 1 Motivation(s) ● Live-USB to run English (Playford) dance music via laptop – Simple file manager to list / select items with arrow keys – Alsaplayer (has simple keyboard commands) – Boots into this “kiosk” – No fuss operation ● Back up a running system to a runnable iso 20131003 OCLUG 2 Remastersys is a free and open source program for Debian, Ubuntu-based, or derivative software systems that can: ● Create a customized Live CD/DVD (a remaster) of Debian and its derivatives. ● Back up an entire system, including user data, to an installable Live CD/DVD. As of April 28th, 2013, the originator's direct development has ceased.[1] As of April 29th, 2013, development (project "fork") is in transition to new supporters Wikipedia 20131003 OCLUG 3 Steps 1 ● Have a running system (!# Statler in VBox) – #! linux, thunar, alsaplayer – No password login, autostart in Thunar, also log off script – Clean out unnecessary programs (Bleachbit) – Make sure mp3 player etc. Works – Set up area for dance music (mp3) and instructions (txt). Other choices possible – Did not put mp3's in place – size/copyright 20131003 OCLUG 4 Steps 2 ● Install remastersys ● When I did it, there was a PPA. Not tried since ● I was running !# in a VirtualBox VM ● Become root (sudo su) ● sudo remastersys backup custom.iso ● ...... (wait) ● Move custom.iso to CD/DVD or transform to USB with unetbootin or equivalent ● Test (and inevitably fix and redo) 20131003 OCLUG 5 But... ● Fragedelic gave up on Remastersys and took down his site, saying he did not want name used even if code continues ● Roberto J.

Efficient and Reliable Filesystem Snapshot Distribution
Efficient and Reliable Filesystem Snapshot Distribution LAURI VÕSANDI Master of Science Thesis in Information and Communication Technology Supervisor: Lars Kroll Examiner: Dr. Jim Dowling Stockholm, Sweden, June 2015 TRITA-ICT-EX-2015:99 Abstract Linux is an portable operating system kernel devised by Linus Tor- valds and it can be used in conjunction with other userspace utilities such as GNU to build a free and open-source operating system for a multitude of target applications. While Linux-based operating systems have made significant progress on the servers and embedded systems, there is still much room for improvement for workstations and laptops. Up to now Linux-based operating system deployment has been er- ror prone, time-consuming process and usually specific to a particular distribution of Linux. Linux-based operating systems also have a repu- tation of being overly complex to set up for a novice computer user and even though there are now laptops available with pre-installed Ubuntu [1], installing Linux-based operating system on arbitrary device is trou- blesome due to lack of native support for certain hardware components. In this thesis Butterknife, a B-tree file system (Btrfs) and Linux Containers (LXC) based provisioning suite is presented. Butterknife can be used to significantly reduce deployment time of customized Linux- based operating system. Butterknife makes use of LXC to prepare a template of the root filesystem and Btrfs snapshotting to save state of the template. Btrfs send/receive mechanism is then used to transfer the root filesystem to the target machine. Post-deployment scripts are then used to configure the root filesystem for particular deployment, option- ally retaining hostname, domain membership, configuration manage- ment keys etc.
