custom-installer

Over the last 6 months or so I have tweaked & customized my Ubuntu installation until I have what I feel is a perfect Distro! Now I would like to turn it into a custom Ubuntu spin that can be run either as I live DVD/USB or installed to a users HDD. Is there an "easy" way to do this?

I would want to use the standard Ubuntu installer but the distro would have it's own name, so I may need to customize the installer to reflect this.
