Creating a custom Linux LiveCD With PCLinuxOS (NewsForge) [LWN.net]

This NewsForge article looks at how to create a custom LiveCD using PCLinuxOS. " The mklivecd tool, which is used to create a LiveCD Linux, can also be used with Mandrakelinux. However, PCLinuxOS has a couple of advantages that make it better suited for a LiveCD Linux project. First off, PCLinuxOS comes with mklivecd already installed and configured, so you don't have to spend time doing it yourself. Second, the Synaptic package manager that comes as part of PCLinuxOS offers an easier and more fool-proof way of adding and removing software than RPM-based systems. Finally, PCLinuxOS comes on a single CD and offers only a small set of programs by default, which makes it less time-consuming to remove unwanted software packages."
