| yes. you need to use initrd and some other crap i believe. i know theres guides for making bootable CDs out there, might want to read the LFS guides, they talk about it a bit, youll probably do a lot of reading before you acctually do anything. i believe the principale behind it is mouting a iso, building the system on that, then burning it to a CD... |

| If you want to use Gentoo here is one method. The livecd distros (Knoppix, Gnoppix, Whoppix, etc) have other methods for customizing the livecds. |
