    Red face Custom Ubuntu Live CD

    I am new to linux, but need to do the following:
    1.) Use a basic ubuntu 9.04 distro
    2.) On boot run an existing .sh script

    I would like to make a thumbdrive with a live cd version that will auto run to desktop and execute the .sh script.

    I am looking for pointers on accomplishing this. I have found ways to get the live cd to run on USB, but it still involves clicking the "run without changing your system link" and I cannot figure out how to run the script on start up.

    Thanks in advance.

    There are two options Ubuntu Customization Kit and Ubuntu Reconstructor
    with the use of these you can create the customized Ubuntu live CD.

    All you have to do is add the .sh executable script in Start UP Programs and Session.
    Never make any misteaks.

    I would like to run the SH file that is on a thumb drive, which is what I want to live cd to run off of, so I can simple change SH file and clone to thumbdrive if I need to make a change to the core script.
