How can I make a custom installer to install only the packages I specify (including proprietary components and drivers) and preconfigure config files like /etc/network/interfaces beforehand?

The InstallCustomCD page has all the information you need to create a custom installer.

However I personally just automate the install using preeseeding instead of customizing a CD. That way I can use whatever vanilla Ubuntu CD and just add my changes on top of it as part of the install process.

  • Can I get custom Live session using preseeding? Preseeding sounds like it's limited to manipulating only the packages on the ISO images without the possibility to add extra packages.

  • Nope, the LiveCD is an image, you'd need to customize the image so you can't really do stuff to it on boot.
