I unmasked mkxf86config *-r3 and livecd-tools and am compiling the cd as I type this. My first undertaking was to actually create a business card cd but I am going to hold that off for future releases. I am actually going to make this a project. The final goal is going to be a cd with X.org / Openbox that is made for pen-testing networks. I have created a project site http://infoportal.dyndns.info Eventually I want to write a couple of howtos for the community, so others can do as I am. After reading through all of the forums I know that there is a demand for more Catalyst documentation. One last thing how did you guys get SquashFS to work on 2004.2, I can get the cd to make the ISO and start to boot but it crashes when it tries to mount filesystem, any ideas or maybe a link to the kernel config and the exact kernel that 2004.2 uses. Just in case you are wondering the livecd project that I am working on is named D.A.R.T (Diagnostic Assault and Recovery Terminal) Thanks Again.
