make your own live cd

"PCLinuxOS has a script called mklivecd, which allows the user to take a 'snapshot' of their current hard drive installation (all settings, applications, documents, etc.) and compress it into an ISO CD/DVD image. This allows easy backup of a user's data and also makes it easy to create your own custom live CD/DVD."

taken from the pclinuxos website.
i want to be able to do that with arch, can it be done? it would be very nice!

of course! Search for "larch" in this board. I already made two (different!) custom usb-sticks with this scripts!

edit: Sorry, I'm a little bit sick and so my brain ain't working correctly... I didn't read the part "to take a 'snapshot' of their current hard drive installation". But you should have a look at larch anyway, probably it is what you are looking for.

That sounds interesting. How about if you post the mklivecd script so we can look at it and see what it does?

I think I remember that LVM can do snapshots. Perhaps that's what the script is using.
