get ready with the tools

I just looking around for the tools needed to make a linux livecd. This will be the kick-start to make one. MyRek will be the code name for this live-cd project. this project is for linux os running fedora core 7. If window users want to create their own window livecd there a utility out there, you could try out the bart livecd to start up. Very nice environment, but not too much utilities in it's gui, however there some basic utilities for you computer maintenance, maybe you want to check it out first.

At the moment i just figuring out what else do i need to prepare.
I just have this package installed, livecd-tools - 009-1.fc7.noarch and Revisor - 2.0.4.1-2.fc7.noarch fedora "Spin" GUI, hopefully this will suffice. Thanks to them the custom livecd now easier to create.

If you don't yet have the Revisor package, install it via internet, you could use the add/remove software or go to your favorite shell and execute yum install revisor
