I am in almost the same situation of Carl now. I can see UCK,Remastersys and some web tutorials like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
I did some tests already and I have the following doubts: 1) To make a Livecd and InstallCD in the same media, customized, is it possible ? 2) What is the best tool to be used ? I need to customize it the most as possible. Using the procedure from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization, I am stucked now on this: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00118.html Some reason, I cannot run Ubiquity and "text mode" debian-installer is being used. What is missing here ?
