Xenial startup disk creator and custom ISO

[Tong Sun]

By posing to Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list, I presume that you don't
mind dropping down to and work from command line. If so, read on,

What you are trying to accomplish is quite a mouthful if you haven't done
it successfully before, so I recommend to break the steps up, and reach to
the creating a custom Ubuntu Install CD step as the final step.

Steps that you should be able to do before that, are at least the
following, from easy to a bit difficult:


*Boot Ubuntu 14.10 directly from CD image*

*Ubuntu frugal multiboot installation without burning any CD/DVD*

The last one is how you put bootable Ubuntu on HD or USB:

As you can see, the above frugal installation method allows each different

Make sure you can boot off the official squashfs before customizing your
own.
