The remastering process is fully automatic.
It should be very easy to use. Read the README.

Hey,
How did you get the custom splashscreen? (after grub)
I had trubble with that :-S

Well, You get paid to do it (Affordy, right?) and I do it for the fun of it so obviously I'll do it better :-P

just kidding :-)

Just to be fair: I've been remastering Debian distributions since 2004.

Anyway, I think that there's no GRUB involved in a liveCD bootup. So if you're referring to the usplash, check this out:

And if you're referring to the ISOLinux menu background, grab the uremix tarball and read the following file:

distros/UbuntuHebrewRemix/scripts/50isolinux_splash

Yep, but I am still part of the community.
Well, we are sometime make up our own work.
We did get it to work on 7.10 Due to some strange back-door.

But they closed it in 8.04 :-( .

BTW, if you already mention Affordy.
We are launching soon a repository for the Hebrew stuff.
We could do some arrangement with Ubuntu Remix if you want.

Of course you're still a part of the community. Affordy is a bless for FOSS community in my eyes - selling pre-installed Linux and providing support - it's cool.

Regarding the Hebrew/Israeli repository: I had similar idea for Kazit back in history and I even did it for a while. All my custom Debian packages were stored in there but today I'd like to think that every missing package should go straight into the Debian/Ubuntu repository and we have the debian-hebrew team for doing just that.

OTOH, such repository will be great for custom themes and other settings that don't have a chance to be accepted into the upstream distribution's repositories.
