take a look at http://slax.linux-live.org/
it's based on slackware and best of all, it's designed to fit 8cm CDs, so you can add all your stuff and record on conventional CD
It also has tools to help you make your own distro

Yes, but slax (and the linux-live scripts it uses to create a live CD) require a filesystem which is AFAIK unable to be compiled into 2.6.x kernels, which means no 2.6.x based CD's can be produced at the moment from linux-live scripts.
i think it would be real small to burn a disk so if i cut it down real real small to just kernel, icewm, and games, it would be maybe 20 floppys
i might not use kde, it would slow down my old rig if it wasn't for 1 gig of swap. i might go blackbox or icewm. and then i would use abiword, gnumeric, gimp, and games, games everywhere. i might not need a 2.6 kernel, maybe 2.4x would be ok 2. any estimates on iso size?
