How to add nvidia-current drivers into an iso file with remastersys?

  • 772

It is necessary to use 3D drivers with Unity Desktop 11.04. How can I create my own iso disk to burn it on usb drive for testing Unity. I have some problems to test unity in Virtual box also default Ubuntu Disk Creator doesn't work for me to make usable installation on usb.

I am searching the internet without success for how to add files, or - for example - the nvidia-current driver, to an iso. Only topics like "create you own custom distribution" but those topics don't fit the content :) :(

I can not report bugs without possibility to test natty with unity.

    I'm afraid you can't, at least there is no easy or official way to do so. Remastersys doesn't enable you to bundle proprietary drivers:

    You should start with a clean install of Ubuntu or variant and use a single user to make all changes. You should not install any proprietary video drivers like the nvidia or ati drivers as they will not be used on the livecd and users will have to reinstall them after installation. (source)

    However, you can add files to the installation. Any file that is put in /etc/skel will be copied to the home folder of each user on the installation. So you could potentially bundle the dependencies of nvidia-current and add the .deb installer.
