I looked at linux-live scripts, and have a question. So, it will make an image of whatever distribution I have installed, is that it? So, I need to make an installation with only the stuff I want on the live-cd? Or can I customize it to pick what I want only? Second. If I install their kernel, does it replace my kernel or will it come as a new entry on grub, so I can use it only when I want, and go back to the other kernel when I'm done? I also took a look at the other distros. Adios seems to be another good starting point, and it already comes with tools to personalize it. Also, Daniel's suggestion: http://www.math.concordia.ab.ca/docs/custom-morphix.php has instructions that seem to be useful for other distributions as well. (not only morphix). I'll try more, and post the results here later. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gustavo Seabra Graduate Student Chemistry Dept.
