Please think again ...
Remastersys is really easy and effective. A few clicks on GUI, wait for it to happen, then burn your CD/DVD ... couldn't be easier!!

What version of Ubuntu are you using? For instance 11.04 (Natty) or 10.10 or 10.04 or .....

If Lucid (10.04) try the link at #3 here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468782
