compile and distribute linux on CD

Hello Linux Users,
On my endeavor to install my own Linux (using the Linux From Scratch) I had a notion if I could transfer my own installed linux(LFS customized) on a CD with my installation instructions. Can I do this? Is this possible? I am still in the process of installing the LFS
but after completing this I shall like to transfer this to a CD as a installable package and then further use this CD on other machines.

If someone out there has already done this then please do let me know.

Thanks,
Amit Mehra

Hello, i'm quite new to linx, but i saw an interesting distributio: KNOPPIX.

It runs directly from CD, and you can find the source.

I think there you can find also the procedure to accomplish you task.


I have a RH 9.0, and i saw there is a kickstart wizard, usefull for guiding and installation.

HTH,
Massimo
