Slipstream Raspbian w/ Application

[sugitime]

Hello,

This may not be the correct place for this, and if its not, I apologize and I'll move the topic.

I am trying to setup an image of Raspbian with an application on the system.

Is there a way to slipstream some content into the Raspbian image, and then have Raspbian automatically run a 'setup' script after the completion of the Raspbian install, to set the application up?

A tutorial link, or any information would be helpful. Thanks!

I have been searching for a way to do this as well. I am often setting up new Raspberry Pis, and the time it takes just to run through the configuration utility and change timezone and keyboard to US is quite annoying.

Right now I have a few bash scripts that I copy over to the pi and run after I boot into it to update and upgrade the packages, assign a hostname, and install a few things, and change some settings, but it still takes about 45 minutes to get one completely setup.

I'm not sure if it fits your needs, but you could take a look at https://github.com/debian-pi/raspbian-ua-netinst
Without extra configuration it installs a very basic system.
But you can customize the installation by providing a installer-config.txt and/or a post-install.txt. See the Installer customization section for details.
Both installer-config.txt and post-install.txt are run as scripts, interpreted by 'busybox sh' (not bash).
