That set me wondering if you could point at an OS from a live CD/DVD and create a snapshot ISO?.
Daft/impossible idea I expect but I am old and a bit cranky LOL

That's why I suggested Saline, I've been using the unoficial LMDE xfce for a couple of weeks but a few funnies have happened in that time, Saline is a better test bed and after I've done the videos I'll upload a snapshot so you can do it yourself if you want.In order to make a valid comparison, both refracta and remastersys should be tested on the same OS install.
For the wiki I'd prefer to do a different video, these videos are just so you can make a comparison, your writing on a bad day would be much better than mine on a good day LOL.Since these videos would be linked from the refacta wiki page, I think it's most appropriate everything be done on refracta.

WOW WOW WOW ROFL I thought it might be possible.es, you can. It works with refractasnapshot-9.0.8 and wheezy. I had to add a few things to the excludes file for it to work. You need some storage space to copy the filesystem and create the iso. A 4GB usb stick could do it. I used a 4GB virtual disk with the iso running in virtualbox. Edit the config file and set $work_dir and $snapshot_dir to the mountpoint for the disk.

If you do a fresh install you'll have to recreate all those launchers, all I have to do is create a sym link to the menus on my data partition and then add application menus to the panel pointing at the menus.is there any reason that you'd go through that process instead of just adding items under an existing panel application?
Sounds like my set up, I have 3 custom menus, one for internet stuff, one for admin stuff and one for media stuff.My root terminal icon in the panel contains a stack of administrative apps - synaptic, gparted, system-monitor, hardinfo and xkill. All my other browsers are stacked above the iceweasel entry and all my video apps are collected under the avidemux icon. Yada, yada
I use shutter for that with a 5 second delay, it comes with a bit of baggage but it does the job.I tried to take a screen shot but it doesn't work when those menus are expanded.
