Embedded Files
Since the unfortunate withdrawal of the Remastersys developer, Below is what I did to get a copy of Remastersys 3.0.4 running on Ubuntu 14.04. Note that the application development ended before U 14.04 so it is not necessarily fully tested on that version of Ubuntu.
Go to this website: http://www.filewatcher.com
Search for, then download the following files:
remastersys_3.0.4-2_all.deb
remastersys-gui_3.0.4-1_i386.deb (32 bit)
remastersys-gui_3.0.4-1_amd64.deb (64 bit)
Install as follows:
sudo apt-get install plymouth-x11 sudo dpkg -i remastersys_3.0.4-2_all.deb sudo dpkg -i remastersys-gui_3.0.4-1_i386.deb (32 bit) sudo dpkg -i remastersys-gui_3.0.4-1_amd_64.deb (64 bit)
If you have un-met dependencies run:
sudo apt-get -f install
Launch Remastersys as follows:
sudo remastersys-gui

Using Remastersys
In order to learn how you can use remastersys, run
sudo remastersys
remastersys Syntax
sudo remastersys backup|clean|dist [cdfs|iso] [filename.iso]
remastersys Examples
1) to make a livecd/dvd backup of your system
sudo remastersys backup
2) to make a livecd/dvd backup and call the iso custom.iso
sudo remastersys backup custom.iso
3) to clean up temporary files of remastersys
sudo remastersys clean
4) to make a distributable livecd/dvd of your system
sudo remastersys dist
5) to make a distributable livecd/dvd filesystem only
sudo remastersys dist cdfs
6) to make a distributable iso named custom.iso but only if the cdfs is already present
sudo remastersys dist iso custom.iso
cdfs and iso options should only be used if you wish to modify something on the cd before the iso is created. An example of this would be to modify the isolinux portion of the livecd/dvd
Creating An ISO Image
To create an iso image of your installation, simply run
sudo remastersys dist
This will create an iso image called customdist.iso in the /home/remastersys directory. The dist option makes that your personal folder (e.g. /home/ruchi) will not be included in the iso image. You might have to insert your Ubuntu installation CD during the process.
This is how the end of the process looks:

/home/remastersys/customdist.iso is ready to be burned or tested in a virtual machine.
Check the size and if it is larger than 700MB you will need to burn it to a dvd
796M /home/remastersys/customdist.iso
Clean Up
After you've burnt the iso image onto a CD/DVD, you can run
sudo remastersys clean
to remove all temporary file created during the iso generation as well as the /home/remastersys directory
