Thanks for the responses! I have persisted, and seem to have made some 
headway. Reconstructor is good for the simple task I need, and I am 
making a live CD with boot screen, usplash, and background, all 
customised, great.

I can offer more comments here and details at a later date. Some 
questions reamain, ( I can follow up you useful leads, thanks) but I 
basically now have a suitable ubuntu customised cd to fit my immediate 
need. Something like this with an organization's logo all over it 
should be good to gain the attention of the target org I have in mind. 
Not sure how far I will get, but it will certainly start a process.
