Ubuntu has a tool called Ubuntu Construction Kit for creating custom live |
| 10 |
CDs. I've used it several times for creating custom Ubuntu and Mint DVDs |
| 11 |
for Linux Format. It works by unpacking an existing live CD insto a |
| 12 |
chroot, from where you can add and remove whatever you want, as well as |
| 13 |
tweaking boot options. Then it builds an ISO of the environment you |
| 14 |
created. |

This is probably much better for you than trying to find an off the peg |
| 17 |
solution, even if all you end up with is Lubuntu+GCC. |

You could do the same thing with system rescue CD but UCK is probably |
| 20 |
nearer your needs. |

Quantum leap: (adj.) literally, to move by the smallest amount |
| 27 |
theoretically possible. In advertising, to move by the largest leap |
| 28 |
imaginable (in the mind of the advertiser). There is no contradiction. |
