The development process for creating a Live CD from scratch is a bit complicated and that can raise the bar for involvement quite high. There is nothing secret about it though, it is pretty well documented: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch And If you're looking for a more automated approach: http://www.gnewsense.org/Builder/HowToCreateYourOwnGNULinuxDistribution Most users will find it easier to get involved via testing, bug reporting, and participating in discussions on the forums and mailing list. We recognize that not everyone is a technical expert with a lot of free time on their hands and that besides development there are many other ways to make a valuable contribution to an opensource project, so that's what we're encouraging. BTW, hacking an existing appliance is much easier than building one from scratch and there are many tools available to help you do that that should be fully compatible with TurnKey Linux (e.g., UCK, remastersys). To lower the bar further, we'll also working on an easy customization mechanism: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/turnkeylinux/+spec/easy-customization Finally, we publish all of the source code to any custom components we create (e.g., di-live) here: http://code.turnkeylinux.org/ The binary packages themselves, which are fully compatible with Ubuntu hardy, are available at: http://archive.turnkeylinux.org/ I hope this helps.
