I'm currently building a custom lubuntu-based LiveCD using Ubuntu Customization Kit, and it's been so far so good, but I need to somehow remove the installation menu that shows up when you boot into lubuntu (the one that has the "Try Lubuntu without Installing" option), I just need it to jump straight into the desktop environment without prompting the user to install lubuntu, as it's alw

I've just installed Lubuntu 12.10 on an old laptop (IBM ThinkPad 600X).
