Hi Aditya, mayebe you want to take a look at bootcdwrite. I have good experience made with bootcdwrite. Using this, you can create a boootable live iso with all your persoanl settings (including ~/home/* and users, including all personal settings.). This ISO can be installed, too. Just bootr it, and you can install it from the live system. The ISO can be greater than 4,7GB, so it can be installen on an USB-stick. For myself, i am using it for creating KALI-Linux (with all my settings, modules, exploits, settings etc. etc. etc. etc.). This ISO is about 30GB big and is an exact image of my installed system. Doing so, I can boot it whereever I wan and have everything available. If you want to do the same, just a hint: If your installed system resides on encrypted devices, you have to notice some special settings, otherwise it will not boot. Fell free, to ask for it. Hope this helps. Oh yes, another way is, just to create a livesystem with filesystem.squashfs. Then edit the filesystem.squashfs (it can be unpacked, edited and hen repacked). This is a little bit fiddly, but very versatile. Last but not least, I believe (but here I am not sure)ยท you may build your own standard debian installer ISO and put in your own package versions (if this is what you want, then preferly ask the installer-crew - they know much better than me, because I never used an own build Debian-installer-ISO). Have fun! Best Hans
