I need to make bigger changes to the warty CD. I'd like to :
- change Ubuntu's partman with Debian's partman, because I need to be
  able to resize NTFS filesystems from the installer.
- add/remove several packages (about 50), so it would probably be easier
  to rebuild the ISO images instead of just hacking them.

Could you describe the process of rebuilding the installer with custom
udebs ?

And could you describe the process of rebuilding the ISO images ?

Thanks a lot,
