If you want something easy to create a custom live cd I suggest you to |
| 54 |
try SystemRescueCD. It is gentoo based annd offers all the tools you |
| 55 |
need to create a custom cd. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I uually run it on a virtual machine and create my livecds. |

Here are all the info you need: |
