At the moment, my problem is building the system wisely in a manual way. What do you think would be the best way to do it?</p><div class="elided-text">

<div dir="ltr">Unless you are not limited by the size of the CD (which your insistence on an ISO seems to suggest) you will not be able to keep a vanilla ubuntu disc anyhow since it already requieres slight overburn so if you want to add even more you are either looking at DVDs or at removing other programs, and once you're doing that going from scratch may very well end up cleaner....<br>

<p>I am planning to maintain the system and maybe even make it public.<br>
There is no problem with building it from scratch, it's just very inefficient to reinvent the wheel... why not using existing installed system? Is there any benefits that I didn't notice? </p><div>

What's the problem with building it from scratch? That's the same<br>
procedure used by the builders of the image you use.<br>
<br>
One way or the other you have to go through the time and memory<br>
consuming part of recreating the compressed filesystem image.<br>
<br>
Is this a one-shot thing or something you want to maintain?<br>
