Jitendra,

You're basically talking about bootstrapping a distro, I think. Is
this a one-time effort or something you want to do on an ongoing
basis? The latter is a very involved process requiring lots of
compilation and storage resources, a sophisticated build queue manager
that can rebuild when package dependencies change so that you have a
consistent set of packages.

This article[1] talks about a lot of things you need to know about
building your own distro. You also have to keep in mind Trademarks and
Copyrights. You can't just recompile your own version of Debian and
still call it Debian, for example. So there are a handful of packages
where you'll need to change default wallpapers and other branding
related things.

Good Luck.

Cheers,
Amit
