I've decided, as a learning experience, to make a live dvd for myself. I'll be putting lots of partitioning, recovery, networking, et cetera utilities. Basically, I'll want to end up with a live dvd which gives me the ability to fiddle around with the host computer (and its network) happily.
I'll be using this guide (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Building_a_Live_CD), I assume it will work for a dvd as well as a cd? I don't see why not, but thought I would check first.
Can anyone recomend any programs for me to include? I am trying to remain as lightweight as possible:
Xorg
Fluxbox
NetworkManager
cfdisk (possibly even Gparted?)
nmap
What else? I haven't really made a system like this before.
Edit: The reason I say live dvd rather than live cd is because I generally end up using several gigabytes for / in a fully configured system. However, that is for a generic system with xfce and other big things installed. I decided to give myself the extra space, though, just in case a cd isn't quite enough.
