I am working on created a customized version of Ubuntu (with certain NEEDED customizations) that will, aftewards, need to be installed on others computers. I know about OEM install, but how do I customize the ISO with the packages and setup files I need?

  • An alternative is to look like what you would do if system drive crashed & you have to do a new install & restore from your backup? You copy /home back & restore list of installed apps. If server type apps or setting you may need some settings from /etc or other system folders which those that use server know how to backup. I script a lot of my changes as I typically do not want to restore /home in a test install as I want different settings.

  • What I need to do involves editing xubuntu UI and a bunch of other things. I am working on creating a kid-friendly iso that parents can dual boot and have their kids be safe within. This involves a lot of stuff that needs to be done through the OEM environment, through GUI, because it would be incredibly difficult to do through terminal. – Spaceguy99 Jun 25 '19 at 16:42
  • You can [Preseed](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed) Debian. Ubuntu has [documentation](https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/s390x/apbs02.html) specific to Preseeding Ubuntu. You can set up a [PXE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboot_Execution_Environment) server with this custom image to allow installation over the network. – earthmeLon Jun 25 '19 at 16:52
  • This isn't that. An example of the sort of stuff I want to do is install firefox and set its theme, add a firewall to it, Change the user interface to make it simpler for children, set up themes, etc. – Spaceguy99 Jun 25 '19 at 17:01
