Is there a way to customize the Raspbian OS

movlbobl
movlbobl over 5 years ago

Is there a way I can customize the Raspbian Buster img File?

 

Here's what I want to customize:

1. For the first boot setup screen I want to only 9 specific countries along with 1 generic no country specific setting and the ability to add more countries if needed.

2. For those 9 countries I want 27 specific cities with the ability to add more if needed.

3. Set up specific Password Requirements for certain countries, i.e. Mexico needs 15 characters, France needs 11 characters and New Zealand only needs 6 characters.

4. Setting up IP addresses like IPv4, Gateway and netmask that can connect with other servers within a local network.

5. Customize packages on Raspian to add custom packages I do need and to take away packages I don't need i.e. Scratch.

6. Make my own software repository tree for future builds of the OS, for instance to build .iso and .img files.

7. Set Root and the Bootloader (if possible) passwords.

8. Set different accounts from the start.

 

My plan is to run this on a RaspberryPi 4, 1GB RAM and 4G RAM, I will also be comparing this by running the RaspberryPis with Fedora, and Chromium OS with the same qualifications.

 

I banned form the RaspberryPi forum for a month because I was being to confusing for them and kept insisting I didn't know what I was talking about.

    My suggestion to you, learn python. This can script a large portion of your list. One example is passwords. Just frontend your normal passwd command and enforce your rules above.
