This is lipck - the "linux install party customization kit".
Linux Install Party Customization Kit (lipck)

This package of scripts is intended for remastering Ubuntu based
distributions.

About
-----
lipck is an helper tool for remastering Ubuntu based distributions. Amongst
others it can
- apply patches to rootfs/isofs/initramfs,
- update the initramfs kernel,
- preinstall packages into the rootfs,
- provide a custom package archive on the install media; this allows a user
to install extra packages without internet access,
- merge i386 and amd64 install media (including file deduplication and
automated architecture recognition in grub),
- autogenerate grub configuration from templates.
In difference to other tools, like UCK, the host system is independent of the
system remastered. Furthermore, the host is kept clean w.r.t. resources (like
mount points). This is achieved by using linux namespaces/lxc.
However, in its current state each version (git tag/commit) is designed for
a single Ubuntu version. While the version/source image can be configured
freely, patches and static files (i.e. those in the contrib directory) are
not versionized and do only apply to a single Ubuntu image.
Originally, lipck was (or still is) created to remaster install images for
linux install fests organized by members of the Open-Source working group of
the Fachschaft 1/1 Mathematik, Physik, Informatik of the RWTH Aachen University.
It is published in hope that it will be useful for someone else as well.
