How do I create my own Live CD?

romandas · #1 10-02-2005, 06:49 AM

I know there are a plethora of live CDs out there, from various distributions. I'd like to create my own anyway, so I can have my own set of tools and utilities? Ideally I'd have a Gentoo or LFS-based live CD made my way, but I'll take what I can get. I'm looking for making a command-line driven one, with a minimal fluxbox (or similar) GUI for those tools that require a GUI.

Anyone know where I can find some resources on this? Any tips from people who have done this before?

There is a tool specifically for building a Gentoo based livecd that I came across when I used Gentoo. Try searching the Gentoo Documentation and forums. And I'm sure there are guides for building a LFS livecd in the LFS hints section.

..but not on linuxquestions; didn't remember its existance actually. Just did a Google search on the Gentoo site and a general search, which gave me plenty of sites for obtaining a live CD, but none with specifics on how to make one.

Thanks for the links.
