A friend of mine got a Linux assignment for school and asked me to help him out. Now, I'm quite familiar with Linux, but when I heard what he needs to do (as Linux beginner !), I didn't know how to begin.

They need to build a LiveCD with server applications on it; including bind, ldap, ... I suggested him to use Gentoo to do this because of the Wiki entry of how to build a LiveCD with Gentoo.

Can someone give more tips ?

Googling brought up this: http://www.linux-live.org/. These are some scripts to build a live cd. It seems to be used for slax. Be sure to RTFM as always.

If you want it simple, use debian (yes, I mean it, it's faster and does set things up for you. we're talking about beginners here if I understood you correctly) and install everything from them. You can of course use every distro you like, this was just what I would use.

EDIT: OK, not much to RTFM as it seems but these scripts claim to be dead easy:
README wrote:
These scripts are used to create LiveCD iso image from your real
Linux distribution. Just install your distro somewhere, unpack these
scripts somewhere in $DISTRO/tmp, login as root and run runme.sh. It
will produce /tmp/livecd.iso

Burn it and boot it.
