How about posting a mini-howto for the process? Or the pointer(s) for the same?

The custom iso is very easy to make. How much time it takes depends on the kind of customization your looking for. On a Ubuntu / Kubuntu based system , you can use remastersys or reconstructor.

Thats a how-to on remastersys to get you started. The only thing to remember is that remastersys will automatically include all packages installed on your system into the custom distribution. So its best to use it on a new install. That will prevent installation of unrequired software.
Here is the link for Reconstructor :

This is a good tool as well. Has some more customizations.
The best way is to make a Live Distro from scratch. That way you can keep it quite trim by removing all unnecessary packages. You can also have a different window manager if you want to keep it really small.
There are also tools to customize fedora , knoppix, slax , DSL etc.
Another tool worth mentioning is Insta Linux
Its a online app where u can choose what apps you want. It generates a custom cd for you on the fly which you have 24 hours to download / distribute. The avaiable applications are quite limited though.
