*This Feature will allow Users to Make Custom Respins from edited .ks files.
* This Feature will allow Users to Make Customized Respins by editing kickstart files and Building Custom-Remix.iso files.
* Detailed instuction on how to make remixes will be provided on the Desktop and as a default firefox web page wiki:[http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Build-Your-Own-Remix.txt [[Talk:Features/SoaS Remixability#Build_Your_Own_Remix]]
* This CD provides a complete set of tools for Creating a Custom Remix of Soas.
* '''Requires installation to a Hard Disk''' to allow Building .iso's.
* Recommended Install Method: [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller]] '''Works wih zyx.?'''
::(still testing=looks like livecd-tools may use too many resources with the zyx-liveinstaller file structure) still testing 09/09/2010 tg
:::Managed to do build on 16Gb USB took '''4+ hrs'''. '''NOT PRACTICAL (as need LVM structured install for enough room)'''08/14/2010
*It requires installation to a Hard Disk or 16Gb USB to allow Building of Custom-Remix.iso files
* zyx-liveinstaller copies the SCS CD exactly (as It is running on Users Desktop.) Any personal customization is transferred to a normal file system on the users Hard Disk
: zyx-liveinstaller (In fedora repositories) is included on the SCS.iso
::CD also includes gparted; livecd-tools, spin-kickstarts.
: liveinst(Anaconda) does not transfer the custom features of the SCS.iso
* The development of a page on the SL wiki for highlighting classroom-made remixes, their kickstart files, and details on their usage
* Coordination with the Remixability feature.[[Features/SoaS Remixability]]
* May require using Anaconda with custom anaconda.cfg and .ks (If this is possible)
* Edits to the Customization Guide version for Mangolassi that reflect these changes
