isorespin

-Add a GRUB 32-bit bootloader to allow ISOs to boot on the many Intel Atom devices limited by their BIOS. -Add functionality to boot ISOs on any Intel Apollo device regardless of the BIOS settings. -Upgrade the kernel to the latest mainline version or to a specific version to benefit from recent patch functionality e.g. for audio and wifi/bluetooth or to use a rolling (HWE) kernel. -Add (or remove) repositories, software packages, scripts and files to allow the installation of firmware and favourite programs. -Preseed or perform set-up commands and scripts and also change system defaults and kernel boot parameters. -Add persistence so that the ISO can retain data, installed software packages and settings across reboots. The script is called 'isorespin.sh' and works with all official desktop 64-bit Ubuntu (http://releases.ubuntu.com) and Ubuntu flavoured ISOs (https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours), Linux Mint ISOs (https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php), KDE neon ISOs (https://neon.kde.org/download), elementary OS ISOs (https://elementary.io), Peppermint OS (https://peppermintos.com/) and BackBox Linux (https://backbox.org/). And whilst Kali is not directly supported the Kali Metapackages (https://tools.kali.org/kali-metapackages) can be added when respinning an ISO.

It can be run using either the shell CLI (command line interface) in a the terminal or using its GUI (graphical user interface). Not only will it generate a new ISO but it will also produce a log file which includes the options used when respinning the ISO and serves to document the respun ISO.
