Please don't think that I am trying to deter you from making your own distro but I would certainly want to quote a few things.

There is no "HOWTO Create New Distributions" that I know of. That is good.
The most important step that you seem to have missed is to ask: "Why?"
.. Why create a new distribution? Why are the current crop of distributions inadequate to your task? ..

A few words of warning. My personal opinion is: the world does not wait for a new Linux distribution. The Linux community has no need of yet another distro. There are hundreds if not thousands. But there certainly is a Linux Project out there that needs your talent, your creativity. Find a project, get involved, contribute. And build your own LiveCD to learn a lot about this great Operating system. And use your own built to show your friends, your family, your colleagues what Linux can do.

What you need to ask yourself is that do you have enough time to maintain a whole distro? You might find a link and then develop one, but will you be able to maintain it? Will you be able to give updated packages of all the software that a user of your distro needs (and that too in time)? Will you be able to be on top of all the security flaws that are found in the applications provided by your distro and then patch them in time? If you think that you can do all that, then you should go ahead. I don't have any idea about installers but you can look at the following links for building your own customised Linux Live CDs.
