When we install Ubuntu, we get a lot of softwares pre-installed. Just like this, is it possible for me to install Ubuntu, then install all my required softwares and packages, setup my desktop and other system wide settings and once I get my perfect Ubuntu ready for use; I make snapshot or installable (my own Ubuntu version) of the system into a DVD or ISO. So that in future, I can just install Ubuntu through that ISO and get everything ready in a moment!

I checked this question, but remastersys is no longer available. I checked this question as well, but it's too long and doesn't seem to be what I need.

Any other solution?

genisoimage -o /media/cdrom/imagename.iso /

Operating system images are best created offline. To do this use software like hiren's boot cd (includes tons of other very useful/harmful tools), k3b, brasero, partimage, etc. This is a cross-platform solution as well.

mkisofs is another option but doesn't seem legit to me, not having a manual page.
