Previously, I had tried the last option in the list, and it did generate a custom ISO, but I was never able to boot using that image in Live mode. I have not tried to install the custom image (to the HD) as that is not my use case (see below).

So, to clarify, my use case for Cubic is to generate a custom ISO containing all the development tools and configuration I use, then to write the custom ISO to a flash drive. I modify the flash drive by reducing the partition used for the boot image (from the custom ISO), then creating a data partition in the remaining space. Finally, I use the custom flash drive to boot my laptops leaving Ubuntu in live mode. As I am often connecting to open wifi, I like the ability to run in live mode, and reformat the data partition as needed. The intent is to reduce the likelihood of a security breach, or to at least reduce the likelihood that malicious code would survive a reboot.

Now, if the custom image is using the older original kernel, it would lag behind with regards to security patches, if I am understanding correctly.

Again, thank you for the work on Cubic and for your assistance with this issue! Very much appreciated!
