http://live.debian.net/ should also support Ubuntu.

It is not intended to b used for rmastering, rathr: for building from
scratch. You can use rmastering-like methods in two ways:

* Custom system at run time, copy over your changes, and rebuild (for
  changes of the user: place them under /etc/skel).
* Through persistence:

That said, why not just install an Ubuntu system on a USB stick?
