I use LXDE desktop on Ubuntu and wanted to make a Live CD from the hard disk installation. It was so easy using Remastersys.
I added Remastersys repositories to the sources:
deb http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/repository remastersys/
Then installed Remastersys:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install remastersys
There was a menu entry "Remastersys backup" which I clicked, selected "Dist" and clicked on ok.
After some time "customdist.iso" was created in /home/remastersys/remastersys
I burned the iso to a CD and it works.
My custom distribution is Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on LXDE with all updates, gnome-games, Brasero, Mplayer, GPIC Viewer, xpdf, Synaptic, Firefox 3.0.5 (with Adobe Flash Player), Pidgin, Transmission, OpenOffice.org 3.0.1, PCManFM, Leafpad, Xarchiver. The size of the iso is 686.5 MB

I am doing the same thing except I have customized the menu to include some of my work tools. I copied the .config directory from my directory to /etc/skel but I still cannot get the menus to carry over into the iso. Do you have any ideas on this?

For any Google searchers ending up here wanting to know the answer to Mark's question above:
~/.config is created from /etc/xdg in the live CD filesystem. So any files (or folders) you need to end up in the .config folder in your home directory, copy them to /etc/xdg
