Would you install modified ISO?

[Shamrock]

Like the title says, would you install a modified ISO? Doesn't matter what OS. Even if you modify it yourself?

I know of the "Windows 10 Bloatware Free"I just can't trust that ISO, but if you don't want that ISO, he teaches you how to modify it yourself.

If I did it myself? Sure. Slipstreaming drivers or something is old hat.

But an ISO that somebody else modded? Hellz no.

You can do more than just slipstream drivers.

Hence the "or something"

I don't understand. Why would you not install operating system bits you modified yourself according to reputable instruction or guide?

Where in the following did he say he would not install an ISO he modified.

I guess I should also point out that if I "modified it myself" but was using some guide with instructions I didn't actually understand, that's a no-go.

ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization.

If you would like to Modify an ISO it will not be a standard format any more.

You would have to talk the their contacts.

https://www.iso.org/about-us.html

That said, I am sure that there is something else on your mind, so please explain what would like to do in coherent technology terms.

For most operating systems, probably not, unless it was from a trusted site.

You are quoting the wrong person. The OP asked "even if you modified it yourself?" And then goes on to offer an example situation where he creates his own modded ISO based on instruction provided by another.

Like integrating DX9, or .NET to an existing ISO. Adding RAID drivers, Libre Office, etc. I want to add said software to an ISO image.

Why would anyone install anything from untrusted sources, let alone a OS? 😵
So, not even sure why you are asking.

If you modified it yourself, unless you don't trust yourself, what exactly is the issue?

Like this? Create up-to-date (as of April 2016) Windows 7 installation bits

If the tutorial or 'how-to' is pointing readers toward trusted download servers for the needed patches, executables, and whatnot such as from Microsoft, or chip companies for drivers, then what is the problem?

You should still expect to perform test installation of the end-result. I try to find sources with active discussion and feedback by persons testing out things being advised therein. If the page does not have much feedback with responsiveness by the author (as in the link I provided above, which has no discussion on that particular article) then I would probably expect higher chance of encountering problems than if it has received feedback from multiple users confirming they followed the guide and tested with no problems encountered.
