Oh gosh yes!  Simply load it onto a machine...stick in the CD...boot from
it....once it's up....use the "Install to HD script".  Make sure you make
a decent sized swap partition....couple gig for room to make the ISO. 
Then you reboot and run from the HD.  Create accounts you want....install
and remove any software....(I installed several plugins for Firefox)
change any themes or wallpapers.  Set any auto-logins you want.  Then once
you have everything the way you want it.  Use (as  su  in terminal)
mklivecd   (mklivecd livecd.iso) and that's it!  It works pretty slick!
