[Eddie Paul Litz]

Can you guys give me a complete list of all ISO Image making tools like Calamares please?

Or a list of ISO image making tools (That can go over 4GB) that can make a live ISO image automatically like Systemback does please?

I'm pretty sure you missed the point entirely.

Hey @Eddie Paul Litz,

I'm not quite sure I understand your question.

Calamares is an iso image installer.

Calamares aims to be easy, usable, beautiful, pragmatic, inclusive and distribution-agnostic

5 Tools to Easily Create a Custom Linux Distro - Make Tech Easier

If you want a Linux desktop that is tailored to your needs, your best option is to create your own custom Linux distro. Here's how to do it.

Create Your Own Linux Installation

Some of you may want to have an installation media for installing Linux to multiple systems. Sometimes though, the pre-loaded apps may not be your favorite ones to use. In a business environment, you may need to remove a lot of apps that aren't wanted in the workplace. Installing the...

Here are the ones I know of:
• Remastersys: Outdated, use the fork Linux Respin instead.
• Linux Respin: What I’m using to create my Linux Disro.
• Clonezilla: Just backs up your installation to put it simply.
• Calamares: You probably don’t want this though judging by your post, and I don’t think it will back up ISOs.
• Systembak: Again, you may not want this.
• Rufus: An ISO installer for Live installations. I highly recommend it as it is lightweight and trustworthy.

There are more but I would highly suggest doing a web search on your favorite search engine. It is much easier than creating a forum post and almost a requirement to do before posting (if not for the sake of discussion). Have a nice day!

More info please Eddie.
Systemback is a tool to take backups of your system and restore them if something goes wrong. It does not make iso images in the usual sense.....that is to make an iso which can then be booted on a pc

Calamares is an installer framework. It is installer. It is used on Manjaro....but it is not the manjaro installer. Calamares is designed to be customized, themed and branded by individual distributions, it can look very different when used by specific distributions. There will be distinct color schemes, etc etc etc....yes I copied and pasted that last bit!

Please explain what you want to achieve.

Are you trying to add a Calamares installer to a build?

I want to make an bootable Live installer for my Cr OS Linux (Chrome OS Linux) Remake that can go over 4gb size. Any ideas?

You can just use GNOME Disk Utility which should be good enough for what you are are wanting to do, as stated in the archwiki.

Linux distributions running GNOME can easily make a live CD through nautilus and gnome-disk-utility. Simply right-click on the .iso file, and select Open With Disk Image Writer. When GNOME Disk Utility opens, specify the flash drive from the Destination drop-down menu and click Start Restoring.

You mean like making ISO from GNOME Disk Utility?

 

[dos2unix]

I'm a CLI guy, so for me the simplest and easiest is simply dd

dd if=/path/to/cdrom of=/path/to/my.iso

Can't use Gnome Disk Utility while my Hard Drive is being used. Gnome Disk Utility says that my disk is busy.

To use the Gnome disk utility boot from a live usb then use the disk utility on the live usb stick to image your drive - remember you need the same amount of disk to image to as big as the drive you are imaging

That's what I thought.

I tried saving it to my 1tb drive and it said "File too large"

I was assuming you were wanting to make a live usb from an iso, you gave us no information of what you were wanting to copy to your usb drive. Knowing what you are trying to do now, you are probably better off using Ventoy and yes if you are wanting to copy your hard drive to a usb it can't be in use by something else.
