On the Ubuntu website as an alternative to the regular download CD, it would be great if there was a custom download option.

A new User could go on the site and pick all the software packages they would like (from a list of approved packages) then download a custom CD/DVD with all the packages of their choice on it.

I know you can do this on your own, but if I want to install ubuntu on multiple computers I can save bandwidth and time of we had a single custom cd/dvd.

This can also be used a marketing tool for teams trying to convince their office/company/school to use Ubuntu. Just load up all the software you want, download the cd/dvd, and BOOM, custom Ubuntu on the go!

Update: Looks like another distro took cue. http://studio.suse.com/

I could have posted a long story about how this works but the link explains it all.

Some of us don't need a full, custom live CD. Some already have the live CD and only need a way to install specific packages offline. So an option to create an .iso file with selected packages and their dependencies, and use that CD as a repository when inserted, would be more than enough.

It would be like this:

-You select a desired package. All its dependencies are automatically added.
-You can then finish the process or add an additional package to the image.
-When you finish the process, you can download the custom image. If you're a registered user, you can also give it a name so you can download it again on another occasion.

A program should be created for major linux distros (*buntu, fedora, slackware, opensuse etc.), windows and mac to scan the programs the user has installed and using an ubuntu account on the website, upload the information to include all necessary programs/equilvants. The users account will update the user if a similar program is not available for *buntu and will also send them updates for programs that are being developed as equilvants to other programs ie. windows moviemaker to openshot/imagination on ubuntu. The user should also be able to supply to their account any other repositories they may wish to have on their install or provide the ability to search a database of any other programs/repositories by description of their function to add to their ISO. They should then be able to save the details of what they want so if they want to download an ISO for the release after the initial download, they can easily update their preferences and download the new ISO. This would make the process very easy and allow new users a ton of customization before they even install, the ISO should include Live CD functionality as well if the user wants it.

1. Add the "Select area choice"
I'd be happy with "Window select" or just a rectangle selection.

2. Save As... Would be wonderful also,
it's annoying having to change it's format everytime. It almost always results in a 2+mb file, not that large by todays standards but same quality jpeg = 400kb, 400kb i'm happy to send thru skype. 2mb is overkill. :)
