Presume you have installed what you want to have on the image. Last half of
your questions is answered. Just do dpkg -l and you have the list. Even

The first question is also misleading. When you have the installation, the
way it should be, you just make a bootable iso out of it.

(except curiosity) to go through the rest of this article"
