Is there a set of files that builds Ubuntu, for example? That's a pretty big question -- sort of like "If I want to build an aeroplane, how would I go around doing that, technically?" There's a fairly long document about various aspects of changing the install CD's behaviour at <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallCDCustomizationHowTo">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallCDCustomizationHowTo</a>, but I don't know exactly how comprehensive it is.  It'll give you a good start, though, and a much better idea of what's what when you next need to ask questions here. - Matt -- ubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com </a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel</a> </blockquote></div>
