can someone please give me a pointer to a how-to to generate a live CD? I am not interested in just using the live CDs that are out there, i.e., SuSE's or knoppix or others. Rather I'd like to make my own, or preferably start with SuSE's live CD and modify it to add some software of my own to it.

Suse LiveCDs and knoppix use cloop. If you want to make a liveCD from a slackware installation, you might want to take a look here: http://slax.linux-live.org/documentation.php If you want to make a liveCD from mandrake, look here: http://www.linuxminicd.org/mklivecd/ Good luck Josephine
