# Special Note: Make sure to click on the Settings tab, and change your user name to your current logged in user name. On the main menu, make sure you click “User, whose settings will be used…”, and when you are done creating your custom Ubuntu OS, that should allow the live custom disc you have created to automatically login during bootup.  You can then test your Custom Ubuntu ISO with Unetbootin, and transfer your Custom Ubuntu ISO onto a Flash Drive (needs to have at least 4Gb free space) and you can boot from that Flash Drive with your Custom Ubuntu Live to test it.
