Re-mastering Knoppix was once the main way to get your own liveCD, but the toolkits are probably better (more easily customised). Ubuntu for a long time didn't have a particularly good liveCD (rather slow at boot-up), but they seem to have put a lot of effort into it recently (they've moved over from cloop to Squashfs, which is faster for instance). If you base the liveCD on Ubuntu make sure it is the Dapper Drake release. Phillip
