Hi i saw this article and thought it may be a help to folks in here.
penguins-eggs is a command line tool to turn your current Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux or Manjaro system to a redistributable live ISO image. Debian / Ubuntu flavors are also supported (so you can also use this for Xubuntu, Kubuntu, etc.), as well as Linux distributions based on these, like Devuan, Linux Mint and elementary OS.

penguin-eggs "Perri's Brewery Edition" fails with:
Cannot find /path/to/vmlinuz.
... after downloading a bunch of packages and setting up to create the 'egg'.
That's too bad... I've been attempting to do what this does for awhile now.
[EDIT]
Ok, I've got all the packages removed and purged and I'm back to normal.
Here's what it installed:

It also added a bunch of i386 repositories that I had to get rid of, added itself to one of my ZFS snapshots and I had a heck of a time deleting that snapshot (it was somehow read-only), and scattered files everywhere that weren't cleaned up when the main package was purged.
Here's what I used to query the dpkg.log to discover what was installed when:
zgrep 'install ' /var/log/dpkg.log* | sort | cut -f1,2,4 -d' '
Modified the title to include square brackets (standard for tutorials & guides category) and moved to tutorials category.

I posted penguin eggs awhile back in another thread. Shame the other project that worked for me with Ultimate Edition some years ago is now dead.
