so I recently purchased the Toshiba satellite L7775D laptop. I wanted to install Ubuntu, but I can't even boot a livecd without the graphics card drivers for the proprietary Radeon card. So I need to customize a livecd to include the drivers. Could someone explain how to do this? Thank you.

You could use an Alternate ISO and its text based installer. Not very pretty, but gets the job done. ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download– mikewhateverCommented Jan 10, 2012 at 7:06

while booting from the live cd you can add radeon.nomodeset=1 to the boot options so that you can boot up from the standard mesa driver, install Ubuntu from there, then install fglrx driver
OR you can try remastersys, but I assume you have not installed ubuntu already,in that case you need to get a custom iso done from a friend having AMD card with proprietary drivers installed
also note that if you pre-install proprietary drivers it will be hard to revert to OSS drivers as fglrx diverts some files
