Creating a custom Linux LiveCD

There are many ways to create a Linux LiveCD. In the upcoming presentation, I will be focusing on the following topics.

1. Why use a LiveCD?
2. Simple overview of Knoppix, Ubuntu, Slax and Other distros.
3. Why did I select Slackware vs the other Linux distributions?
4. Are there any open source tools available for creating a custom LiveCD?
5. What are the LiveCD internals?
6. What are the space limitations?
7. What are the performance issues?
8. How about configuration issues between computers?
9. How do I save some of my files from the RAM disk (volatile space) to a fixed medium (non volatile space)?
10. What are the options for automation tools?

I am hoping the whole presentation should take about an hour and hopefully I will be able to show the group a live demo. Presentation date to be finalized by the admin. I will also try to bring some sample SIMPL LiveCDs that I have created for HOSUG.
