How to build my custom Ubuntu using Minimal CD
5,612
The 30MB minimal ISO mini.iso
is NOT a minimal Live-CD; it's a minimal net-install CD, and I don't think it's possible to customize it in the way you want. You need to start with a minimal Live-CD such as Ubuntu Mini Remix, which can be customized using the Ubuntu Customization Kit and other utilities. Please see this excellent answer from @Mitch to a similar question for a how-to.

I have downloaded the 30 mb minimal Ubuntu 12.04 iso file. I would like to customize it. I would like o have the following customizations:
- add Ubuntu desktop GUI with Unity.
- add essential software and applications, including network.
- add other software
- And above all, I need to install my own kernel.
- I need to change the background images, logos and themes.
- Is it possible to change the boot animation ?
How is it possible? Will Ubuntu Customization Kit work ?
