So, I tried searching google for this but did not really get an answer to.
What I am looking for is adding applications to a Ubuntu Installation image. I know I can create a live USB with persistence and install applications on it which will persist but I don't know if, when I use that USB to install Ubuntu on the machine, these custom installed applications will also be a part of the new system.
If not, how do I go about doing this? Is it even possible?
