Folks:

I’m trying to create a DSL remaster that will be used in a classroom to start student computers into the Linux ICAClient application.

I’ve got the first phase working; I have a remaster that has the ICAClient working on it.  My next phase is to create a student proof remaster.

I have to create a new user, as the DSL user has too many rights.

Thanks,

After I start the system using my current remaster and create the new user, what files and directories do I need to copy to my remaster source directory to make sure the new user is on the next remaster?

You should be using the chroot command into your remaster source tree and then your changes will be available. It is explained in the remastering thread. Copying individual files is so much harder. Just be aware that mydsl is built around user dsl. But if you are only loading and using deb packages it should not be an issue.

Roberts:

I will be using more than just deb packages - the Citrix ICA Client for Linux.

Would a better approach be to strip down the DSL user, and if so what packages would you recommend I remove?  The systems the students will be using have very limited access to anything - pretty much nothing but the Citrix farm, and they will not have hard drives installed, so restricting their access on the CD remaster may be overkill.

I'm just so used to being paranoid when it comes to this school because of the nature of the students that attend there.
