Creating a personal ISO for installs.

[Stray Wolf]

I've been installing Ubuntu on more and more systems for people. But I'm just doing the install from the the LiveCD download on the Ubuntu homepage. Once I do the install people want their desktop to look like mine so then I have to install Compiz and Cairo-dock and configure them both like mine. Is there a way to create a LiveCD or installation disk already pre-loaded and configured with Cairo-dock and Compiz. I'd also take off F-Spot and add digiKam, along with making sure a working version of Flash and Java are also included in my personal installs... is this possible? If so, how?

Read this. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-with-remastersys.html It's 2 year old info but it should all still work. Also, somewhere in this forum there is a gent who gave a tutorial to do just that...but I was unable to find it...

There is software in linux mint to remaster...and since mint is based on ubuntu...you might use it in ubuntu too...

maybe it is called aptoncd...

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I haven't done anything yet. First, I'll go through your solutions and their explanations to see which one has the least chance of me accidentally nuking my system...this is going to be awesome if it works! I've done many installs here locally and this is going to be a real time saver!
