Hi
I've struggled with windows for years with long winded installs taking hours installing programs and so on.
I found out how to make unattended CDs and now most of the software I use is installed with the OS and most of the configuration and hardware installs are done for me.
I plug the disc in select which hard drive to use and come back later. Takes a little under an hour on my high spec PC the about 20 min to finish off with a few extras not on the auto install DVD
While chatting in the forum some time ago someone mentioned you can make your own install discs with ubuntu too.
Being able to automatically include the extra set of programs that I always install would be a major improvement for me.
The program mentioned to make your own install discs was reconstructor but a search in add/remove reveals nothing.
If it is possible to make your own disc with extra software included could someone please post me a link to a good guide on the subject
