Your question doesn't seem from someone that just remastered a live distro.
Anyway to address your question, there isn't any magic boot speed up command on the kernel like "SPEED_MY_BOOT"
You can speed up the boot process by choosing specific hardware opts, but that will probably break the distro on non hardware that doen't comply with those opts. Live distros are distros that are compiled with a lot of drivers to address multiple hardware configurations.

My distro is different and you did not understand the simple question. LOL

That's a spamd linux port project on microcore Linux.
Live cd is done with a set of tools namely mksquashfs, mkisofs, etc. you can Google for some beginner tutorials.
That may help you.
