# Rebuild ISO
Now its left just to add icing on the cake... Small patch to the gfxboot-theme-ubuntu package to have a correct order of color depths (we want to make a new init file for our bootlogo)

All the steps documented 'cos we gonna redo some for live-image-mate-desktop.
Destination paths are relative 'cos I'm standing in the isolinux directory.

tar -xf /tmp/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/install/bootlogo.tar.gz- This should come from
gfxboot-theme-ubuntu: /usr/share/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/bootlogo.tar.gzbut at the moment there is some bugchaseing and I built it from source. - Note that cpio archive
bootlogocontins only one fileinit. With the help of isolinux bootloader we have access to a filesystem, however for other usages, some files that reside in our isolinux directory might need to be added also inside thebooglogocpio archive.
So it works... Ok then lets check on dependancyes.
