Create my own install CD

[TheBigAmbulance]

How can I take my Kubuntu 9.10 system (patched, upgraded, software I want installed, Nvidia drivers installed,home directory) and create an install disc so that in the event I reinstall, I can start at a certain point instead of going back to the beginning of the release and reinstall everything?

I think you want to know about the subject called "remastering."
Search here for a discussion on that (I think led by toad). Also google on the term.

Re: Create my own install CD

remastersys works nicely i use it to make my backup install disk for my server. since it had quite a bit of config from a fresh install

That is where I'd like to go with this. Periodically create an iso so that I could have my system at a point where I would not have to start completely over.

It's my understanding reading through the docs that nvidia drivers will not be part of the livecd? Will I need to uninstall them to create the disc?

you don't have to uninstall them but you will have to install them again , if you install from the disk you make
