I began by taking an overview of the several methods, suggested in that Ask Ubuntu discussion, that looked like they might still work.Īt this writing, the most popular answer to that Ask Ubuntu question consisted of a manual approach written for Ubuntu 11. As a few of the more recent answers and comments indicated, most of those solutions no longer worked and/or the software underlying them had eventually been abandoned.
As such, this post is a response to an earlier post discussing Windows tools that could similarly create and burn an ISO containing an Ubuntu installation on USB.Īnswers to an Ask Ubuntu question presented a number of Linux solutions that may have been useful at some point, during the 12 years that had passed since that question was posed in 2011. This post focuses on Ubuntu tools that appeared capable of producing that Ubuntu ISO.
Ideally, that ISO would be compressed, so as to serve as backup for that Ubuntu installation and, ideally, it would work in USB-burning tools like Rufus and YUMI, giving me single- or multiboot USB drives as needed.
I wanted to create an ISO file that would capture an image of a customized, bootable Ubuntu USB installation.
