Mklivecd
mklivecd is a script for Linux distributions that allows for one to compile a "snapshot" of the current hard drive partition and all data which resides in it (all settings, applications, documents, bookmarks, etc.) and compress it into an ISO CD image. This allows easy backup of a user's data and also makes it easy to create customized Linux-distribution. It was originally primarily used for Debian distribution, but has since become available prominently on all distributions of Linux-operating system. Some Linux-distributions like PCLinuxOS includes a graphical frontend for easier script usage.
