Creating a Custom ISO with Options
 
Here is the scenario:

At work I have been ask to create a custom ISO using UBUNTU as the chosen distro, install our prerequisted packages and present the customer with a choice of options of enabling and disabling services and just in general custom choices that I want to present to the user during the installation. I have used SuseStudio befire but this is more Suse Centrix and wanted to create my own. My preference would be a netinstall setup where my custom menu would give them a choice of what direction they want to proceed in. Any guidance would be greatly appriciated.

For a project like that I would built a custom system using preseeding that only installs a bare system and after the install starts a script where you can choose the specific tasks to install (or a full blown system where you ask after the install which services to enable/disable). Should not really be difficult, preseeding is easy to handle and such a script (may be even using a GUI) should also not be difficult to write.

Many thanks for the reply. I was heading the direction of preseeding and like over the other options that I have read about:

When i have done that I followed the second link you gave, together with the information found here: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed

I know you can buy the SuseStudio. Never asked if it could be used for other distros or not.
Might even ask Catonical if they would create a custom install menu like that.
