Just noticed this posted on freshmeat.net and thought it looked interesting.
Linux Live is a set of bash scripts which allows you to create own LiveCD from every Linux distribution. Just install your favourite distro, remove all unnecessary files (for example man pages and all other files which are not important for you) and then download and run these scripts.
How does it work?
It boots by using initrd, then it mounts the whole packed filesystem from the CD, after that it inserts ovlfs modules into kernel to emulate "pseudo-writing" to the CD, it links all directories together in /mnt (tmpfs) and finaly /mnt is chrooted and ramdisk is freed. Your distro won't even notice that there's something behind...
