Yes, of course. If you create the DVD yourself, you get to decide what
software is included and how that software is configured. There are tools for
making this easier, and they typically let you select which packages to
include and to add files (e.g., configuration files containing your desired
changes).

You'll probably have to experiment with this several times to get it right,
but you can use a virtual machine for this purpose, so you don't have to burn
actual DVDs and reboot whenever you want to make a change.

I haven't actually done this, so I don't know which tools are currently best.
Basically, there will be scripts that download everything and build an image
file that can be written to the DVD.
