IIRC, way back in the mists of time (Ok, a couple of years ago), there was a page in BLFS that said something like 'we plan to have instructions here on building your own Rescue/Boot CD'. It may have said floppy) I guess someone put this in instead. Now, looking about on the website I discovered that you guys in the LiveCD project have a method: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/documentation.html however, this isn't a proper description of an infalible method, it's more a set of hints (lower case) that might lead a well informed hacker to create a method. I think this topic deserves a proper 'LiveCD Project' approved Hint. Justin rightly points out that there are a couple of old hints that are relevant, but (having slept on it) I think we could do better - and to do this in a way fully aligned with the offical LiveCD and the Stable Books would be beneficial.
