I am trying to create a custom Live CD with all my folders inside. I have created my own kiosk mode system and I have to install it in several computers at the same time. I have tried copying the complete HD with the dd option

dd input output

But it's not fast enough in the installation, I can't wait 10-12 hours for every device for copying-pasting the HD.

So, can I make a custom Ubuntu Live version with all my files and all my configuration in it, and when install Ubuntu sets all like the original version?

Thanks in advice

    I think it would be easier for you to create an image of your system and clone that to other computers take a look at http://clonezilla.org/ – Katu Jan 17 '17 at 13:35
  • @Katu You should convert that comment to an answer and drop me a comment and I'll come back and upvote it (be sure to include CloneZilla Server in your answer) – Fabby Jan 17 '17 at 13:51

If your goal is to clone your installation to other computers, you can use Clonezilla. It's normally easier than creating your own iso, especially if you want to keep your configuration.

If all your machines are in the same network, you can use The Fog Project. It's a computer cloning and management solution.

If you still want to create your own distribution, this is the official documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
