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.

Sorry for the late response, but any easy guides to get me started? – Oxwivi Mar 3 '11 at 18:17
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. – Oxwivi Mar 4 '11 at 14:01
Nope, the LiveCD is an image, you'd need to customize the image so you can't really do stuff to it on boot. – Jorge Castro Mar 5 '11 at 15:48
