Hi Krishnan

My suggestion would be to build a debian based distribution, as the
packages for Koha in debian are very very close to finished.
So everything Koha needs would be in .deb packages, and it would be as
easy as apt-get install koha. So this bill of material has been done
for debian already.
There are quite a few tools around for building distro's based on
debian or ubuntu. I'd suggest looking at one of them.
