I am trying to make a remaster of PCLOS... But...[Solved - Working]

[Agent Smith]

Gentlemen,
I am trying to make a remaster of PCLOS, in Brazilian Portuguese. The ISO generation is Ok.
But when I install that ISO, it returns to EN_US, and I have to run addlocale again to make it PT_BR.
Would you have any tips on this ?
I am using PCLOS LXDE.

Thanks in advance.

The files in /etc/skel, including the hidden files are what is used in creating new user accounts. You need to copy the ones in /home/guest where you have the translation done over to /etc/skel.

I did that Mr. Neal, but it worked just for the guest user. When I re-installed that ISO, it returned to defaults locale and folder names (and the default gfx)
And I made some nice gfx works http://www.pclinuxosbrasil.com.br/uploads/xforum/13_4f45524a6e414.jpg
(well, at least I think so...)

Would not there be other configuration scripts or xml files that I could tinker with to fix that... ?

(btw, what do you think about my gfx and my icon preferences ?)

You must have noticed Mr. Neal, that I am away from the forums here, because I'm working on this remaster and had lots of work waiting for me in the Brazilian community, when I returned from vacations.

Well, thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards!

Then you did not use the hidden files from your translated guest account to replace the default files in /etc/skel.
After you install the ISO for remastering, on first boot create root password as root, create guest user with password guest, log into guest and run addlocale.     
Next, open Menu > File Tools > Root PCManFM. Open /etc/skel. Click View > Show Hidden Files.     
Next, open Menu > File Tools > PCManFM. Click View > Show Hidden Files.     
Next, in PCManFM /home/guest highlight all folders with names beginning with a period (.) right click and choose copy. In Root PCManFM > /etc/skel, right click on empty space and choose paste. Tip: do not highlight anything in /etc/skel or pasting will not work. When you get popups asking if you want to replace the folder and files, click to do the replacing. Do this for all hidden folders and files, except for the xsession-errors file.     

When I re-installed that ISO, it returned to defaults locale and folder names (and the default gfx)

     
Gfxboot is another matter altogether. You did not ask about gfxboot. Read this thread:

That pinwheel icon/logo was used a long time ago. It was a "loaner." We created our own and do not use it anymore. The official PCLinuxOS logo is preferred.

Dear Mr. Neal,
I followed your directions, and tomorrow I intent to create a new ISO (with the changes you advised me to do).
Actually, I like the windmill logo, looks colorful.
I would ask you where could I get high res graphics of the PCLinuxOS logo, so I could make some nice gfx.
And, I asked Mr. Reynolds(over G+) to make this remaster(I would not make it without his blessing). He said ok, and so I'm here, with it almost done.

Again, thanks for your tips and patience with me.

Ps.: It's not a derivative, it's a pt_br version with an extra coat of eye candy(colorful wallpapers and icons) to catch users' attention(since that other distro dropped the ball... Hehehehehehe... I'm working to seize the opportunity and attract users to PCLOS, which here in Brazil, is not well known - an injustice, PCLOS is GR8!)

Folks, I am getting rave reviews about this localized version. "Better than Linux Mint", "Faster than Ubuntu and Mandriva", "Light on resources".
Yes, our country needed a localized version, in pt_BR language. And, with graphics to caught the users' attention over PCLinuxOS.
I hope this remaster does justice to PCLOS, a very underrated distribution.

I thank very much Mr. Reynolds, for the great distro he created. I thank Mr. Neal, for his priceless tips on the localization and configuration and DJonhston on his tips on PCLOS logos.

Gentlemen, my best regards, thank you all(if I forgot someone, because many folks helped me with this localized version)

Very nice. Keep up the good work.

Dear Mr. Reynolds,
Your comments are the highest compliment I could ever have. And, you are are the main responsible for this version. Without your permission, I could never make it.
Thank you very much sir.
The gfx I used in this version, I posted on LinFX. Unhappily, it didn't let me post all of the wallpapers. It stated I exceeded my quota space.
Anyway, this is the link to the gallery: http://linfx.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=229

Edit:
 I created an album on G+, with all the gfx: https://plus.google.com/photos/114633819284694988041/albums/5717154989673242465
