How to build your own live CD
Preparing a live CD, based on PGDG RPMS, is easy for CentOS users. We prepared kickstart files, which will do all the work for you. Also, you can install the contents to a disk after boot. You will find an icon on Desktop for that.
You will need to install livecd-tools RPM. After downloading kickstart file, run the following as root :
LANG=C livecd-creator --config=PG95-CentOS7-x86_64.ks (on CentOS)
There are about 700 packages to be downloaded, this build process may take some time, depending on your connection.
