This project is the old remastersys debian remake.
Working in the dist mode only yet.
Hi! Zoltan Guba. I need your help! Thanks for making the package for Debian 10. Attached is my remastersys log file. It builds the /home/remastersys/ directory just fine, and fills it with everything needed to make an ISO, but when it is asked to make an ISO it crashes every time. I tried installing other versions of remastersys, and I aslo tried installing all the dependancies for other versions of remastersys, but no matter what I have tried so far it will not make an ISO file. It does make the iso.md5 sum. The installed system is under 1GB, so it's not a file size issue? Well, you can probably learn more from teh log file, so I will let you look at it first :) Thanks again, and may God bless you!
I made a fresh , modified version, working with xorriso.
I tested it with debian 11 (testing) in qemu.

I didn't know Debian 11 was out yet.
A friend of mine suggested that the problem could be with the hybrid
Debian-Mate image I installed, and that maybe I should start over with a
pure Debian 10 image?
Is there anything I can do to try to get it to work with the Debian-Mate
system I have ready to remaster?
Is there any way to troubleshoot and find out why it won't make the ISO,
and then says that it did?

Probe the new remastersys version on debian 10. If not working,
i'll make a test on buster.
I have gdebi and wget installed.
How do I probe remastersys, and what am I looking for? Do I have to
install mirmon to probe?

If you want to make a legacy bootable iso only, you must to edit the /usr/bin/remastersys
script. Yo dont need this section from xorriso part:
-eltorito-alt-boot \
-eltorito-platform 0xEF -eltorito-boot boot/grub/efi.img \
I probed it on debian 10 legacy system. Working without i modify anything.
What i did as root on pure debian 10 mate after install:
apt update
apt install gdebi wget
I downloaded the rematersys package, install it with gdebi.
start...

This is correct. Your version is old. The new version is 3.10.19-2.

Ok, it created an ISO, but there are a few strange problems. Frist the GRUB is not in english, and it doesn't match the one in the system. Also it will not boot. It tries to boot every 5 seconds in an endless loop. I'm not sure what the cause is of this problem. Perhaps it is the grub boot options.
Boot menu updated to english.

Tested on Debian 10.6 fresh installed system. Install it with gdebi
without any dependency problems.
