VirtualBox -- Create VM for Booting Live ISOs/CDs/DVDs

[gold_finger]

It is the 2nd options you mention, I now LL2 with my common apps, all configured, network, printer, mount points etc...
So have a VM of that, rather than clean OOB and start again.

That's what I figured you wanted.

UPDATE
After a few Google's it appears remastersys is now being developed by a new team
Here is an update 1st March 2014, But no GUI yet

Thanks for update link -- knew they took over project but wasn't aware they came out with any new code.

I'll try experimenting a bit either today or tomorrow on spare computer.  Will try out old version of remastersys first to see if it works on 14.04 (LL 2.0) because it has a GUI interface, making things easier.  If doesn't work, I'll try out new code from above link and see what happens.  Will report back when done.


P.s.
Worst case scenario if remastersys doesn't work -- just install to VM, manually make same changes to system, then take a "Snapshot" (in VBox) of it to save its original state.  Revert VM to snapshot anytime you need to backtrack to original state.
