Questions[custom-distributions](ubuntu)

I am running Ubuntu 17.10 and I would like to build a completely de-branded ISO of it. This means not just dropping the Ubuntu name from /etc/lsb_release but also deleting references in the text of the installation program, in the "about this computer" screen and so on.

I've already checked other questions but I do not consider them duplicate because:

• How to de-brand Ubuntu? is very old and it just turned into a bunch of "try this tool" suggestions
• How can I replace Ubuntu branding with my own? is also old and suggests a tool called relinux that hasn't seen updates in years
• How to customize the Ubuntu Live CD? does mention APT packages (and I know how this works) but not trademarks

Therefore my questions are:

• Starting from a stock Ubuntu 17.10 (or an official derivative), how can I remove references to the Ubuntu trademark and logo?
• What exact packages do I need to uninstall?
• Are there images I need to replace? Are there files I need to edit other than /etc/lsb_release?

Please note that I am not interested in removing other names such as Firefox. I am only interested in the name of the distro.

I'd like to create a customized Ubuntu Server 12.04 ISO but couldn't find a clear approach on how to do it. I see that Ubuntu-builder is a very good app to create a customized Ubuntu Desktop, but what about Ubuntu Server?

I'm looking into the best way to deploy a customized Ubuntu image and it looks like I have two options:

1. To make an "OEM install" version.
2. To make a custom Ubuntu image.

Could someone help me understand the difference between these two methods of customizing an Ubuntu install? It appears to me that both these methods allow for elaborate customization of the image while allowing the user to enter their own end-user details (time zone, username, password, etc...).

Using the Ubuntu customization kit, is there a way to include all the updates on the created CD (up to the point when the CD gets created)?

Thanks

i am building my own distro (which i am almost done) but one thing left is the name of it. since i am not sure what to name it im leaving the "ubuntu" there

i know i will have to change the following files

• /etc/lsb-release
• /etc/issue

to my own name and version and code name. am i missing other files?

(on my site it shows it's an ubuntu version - i read the tm etc... but i want the name of my distro to be there) thanks
