What's the easiest way to make a live CD?

I want to have a desktop, with perl including perlTk, plus some perl scripts and after compression about 10M of data/images. Using Redhat9 I have this in 2G on my desktop how do I fit it onto a 700M cd?

I have a MEPIS live CD which has the desktop, perlTk etc on it but there is no obvious way to add my perl scripts and data to it.

Any suggestions?

Hi

Try to modify a Knoppix livecd.
You can get rid of unnecessary documentations, kernel source etc.
Another possible distro: Vector
Linux.

Remove devel stuff. Remove locales. Remove docs. You got about 700MB more space now. Use squashfs/zisofs/whatever rings your bells and is a compressed filesystem. End of story.
