The Cubic Options Page features three tabs:

  1. Kernel
  2. Preseed
  3. Boot

Kernel Tab

The Kernel Tab shows a list of additional kernels you may have installed to your customized Linux system, in the chroot environment. You can chose to use one of these as the boot kernel for your new live iso. It's a good idea to just accept the recommended default on this page.

Note that the ISO Boot files will automatically be updated with your selected kernel files (vmlinuz and initrd). Cubic will also automatically correct the file extension (initrd.lz, initrd.gz, etc.) even if your original ISO had the wrong file extension. If you want to change this extension, see Answer "How to change the extension of the initrd file?" (https://answers.launchpad.net/cubic/+question/693009).

(Note: On this page you are not selecting the kernel that is used inside your customized Linux system, nor are you selecting the kernel that will be installed onto a computer when you use your new Live ISO; instead, this is the kernel that is used to boostrap your new Live ISO).

Preseed Tab

The Preseed Tab allows you to create, edit, or delete Preseed files.

Boot Tab

The Boot Tab allows you to update the boot parameters used while booting the customized Live ISO. These files are automatically updated to reflect the correct kernel files (vmlinuz and initrd).
