Before you actually build your installation ISO, you need to prepare a preseed file to be passed to debian-installer, in order to set some of its parameters and automatically answer its questions.

Open your editor and create a new mypreseed file in your workspace containing the following lines:

d-i             apt-setup/uri_type      select cdrom
d-i             apt-setup/country       select enter information manually
d-i             apt-setup/another       boolean false
d-i             apt-setup/security_host string
d-i             apt-setup/use_mirror    boolean false
d-i             clock-setup/utc         boolean true

d-i             grub-installer/with_other_os    boolean true
d-i             grub-installer/only_debian      boolean true
d-i             grub-installer/skip             boolean false
d-i             pkgsel/install-language-support boolean false

tasksel         tasksel/first multiselect standard

This example preseed file instructs the debian installer to use the CDROM drive as main APT source media and to automatically install the standard task, which will pull all packages of your Ubuntu/hardy remix.

You can now actually build your installation media.
