Creating a LiveCD from scratch

[Maarten de Boer]

Hello,

It seems my previous thread got into a dead end, so I'd like to explain
a bit more what I'm trying to do, and why.

I am in the process of creating a LiveCD for the ICMC2005 (International
Computer Music Conference). During the conference, several workshop will
be given, among which "Audio Production with Free Software Tools". (For
an abstract, see:  http://www.icmc2005.org/index.php?selectedPage=120 ) 

The LiveCD will be used during this workshop, and probably some of the
other workshops as well, so it will include the featured audio
applications. For this, a 'simple' customization of the Ubuntu LiveCD
would be sufficient. But to properly run "professional" audio
applications (with low latency), a customized kernel (with the
realtime-preempt patch) is required as well - or at at least highly
desireable.

All participants in the workshop would be given a copy of the LiveCD
(between 400-500), and obviously this is a good way to get a lot
of people in contact with Ubuntu and Linux.

I have been looking for documentation, but apart from the Customization
wiki page, and the debian-installer documentation, I did not find much.
I would be very much interested in more detailed documentation of the
LiveCD creation process of the original LiveCD.

I hope you can help me out.

Kind regards,
