$ sudo apt-get install dumpet xorriso squashfs-tools gddrescue

Downloading Ubuntu ISO image

The first part of creating your own customized Linux distro based on the Ubuntu Linux is to download the official Ubuntu ISO image. Create a new directory custom-ubuntu to hold all files required by this project. EFI and its SecureBoot feature is not supported on i386 architecture so download any amd64 version of the Ubuntu ISO image and store it within custom-ubuntu directory: 
$ mkdir custom-ubuntu
$ cd custom-ubuntu/
