How do i repliacate a system as is.

i have installed ubuntu from the minimal iso...

i have kept it to minimum

now i m using UCK to customise a live cd

is there anyway i can replicate my installed system as is? i.e. install apps that i have install and remove apps that i have not installed/removed

i tried using synaptics and saving the marking full state way and when i read it when customizing, it doesnt remove the apps that i have removed it just reads installs more apps, it doesnt remove
