I'd like to try the APorteus-XFCE_ja-v22.04.22.3-x86_64.iso except I need OpenBox, no games, no office. (I love it that it's English locale but bundles with Japanese input and fonts). What's the easiest way to build my custom iso?

@rych

Thank you for using APorteus.

Customerization of APorteus is basically the same as Porteus,
except that you can generate APorteus with "ISO Builder".

However, the following commands are valid when using the APorteus driving environment.
dISO: ISO decomposition
mkISO: ISO assembly
dINIT.zstd: Decomposition of initrd.zstd
mkINIT.zstd: Assembling initrd.zstd

[The simplest customerization example]
Performed in APorteus driving environment.
Where the current running APorteus is (ext4 file system with sufficient unused size)
