I started customizing live ubuntu cd. I followed all the steps in this post but i am not able to unmount the /proc. Please look @ the below error.. The error says some process where running but i am not able to figure out the process.. Can anyone help ?

Error

root@karthick:/# umount /proc/
umount: /proc: device is busy.
(In some cases useful info about processes that use
the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))

You are probably trying to do this in a root environment and not the chroot environment.

See the difference between 

/home/rinzwind$ sudo su
/home/rinzwind# umount /proc
umount: /proc: device is busy.
    (In some cases useful info about processes that use
     the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
root@discworld:/home/rinzwind# exit

and 

rinzwind@discworld:~$ sudo chroot ~/livecd/custom
bash-4.2# umount /proc

The 1st tries to umount /proc for the system you are using and of course fails. The 2nd one is done on the chrooted environment and works.

Looking at your prompt root@karthick: this should be a bash prompt.
