I want to create my own customized Ubuntu derivative and this question already gave me a very good start. My requirements are quite specific I want to roll out a CD with

Set of users who are supposed to run them (root, admin, guest) pre-installed
With their passwords already set
Installation not asking for creating users on booting or during OS installation
Autologin to guest user

Is this even possible?

Thanks to the community in advance :)
