In the liveCD remastering process, I assume the distro will want to use the internet as its default software repository, because they usually do, don't they? That can pose a problem: if you don't have a Linux internet connection already established, and are expecting to set one up only once you have the liveCD running (disregarding that setting up a connection for a liveCD is mostly pointless), you *can't* use the internet to download software. Since I have only one CD drive bay, and therefore can't set the liveCD to download from the installer for another distro (if that even works), can it use an existing distro on the HD as a repository?
It would most likely be Knoppix, because Knoppix is my favorite distro. Certainly not MEPIS, because I had very poor luck with it and am not inclined to bother with it anymore. I could remaster Damn Small, because it's extremely fast, but I don't like its desktop or its file manager (it's awful), and I insist on having OpenOffice even if defeats the purpose of DSL.
