Can I create my own Ubuntu 16.04 Live DVD / USB with patches?

The only Ubuntu Live DVD I have is for version 14.04.1.



I recently upgraded to 16.04 when the semi-weekly updates nudged me to do so. After the upgrade I had to patch various parts of the system for my laptop to behave. I also upgraded to Kernel 4.6.3 and then to Kernel 4.7.1 and then 4.7.2 immediately after that.




Today I was thinking I should create a spare 16.04 Live DVD "just in case" but then started wondering if I could make one incorporating all the changes I've done the last few weeks.



So.... Can I? and how would I go about doing it?



Thanks in advance.



Edit 1:



To add clarity it's not a kernel patch or major rewrite. There are just a few files I want to add:




/etc/acpi/events/lid-open
/etc/acpi/events/lid-close
/etc/acpi/events/tv-sound


I need to add my cell phone to the usb id's and change terminal to colour prompt so two files need to be changed:



/usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids
~/.bashrc



Optionally I might want to setup plymouth themes for sunrise and sunset instead of Ubuntu logo with horizontal dots. Also within grub kernel command line "kaslr" option could be added.
