+====== Creating a PLD Live CD ======
+===== Creating the CD root =====
+First, start by creating a directory for the CD. Issue the following command adjusting the path to suit your needs:
+<file>mkdir -p /path/to/root
+</file>
+Next select the packages to install. The following list should be a nice start:
+<file># cat base.lst
+FHS
+acl
+basesystem
+bash
+blockdev
+dhcpcd
+eject
+fix-info-dir
+fsck
+grub
+iproute2
+iputils-ping
+kbd
+kernel
+kernel-fs-aufs
+less
+linux-live
+lvm2
+mingetty
+mount
+openssh-clients
+openssh-server
+pciutils
+sed
+terminfo
+traceroute
+udev
+usbutils
+util-linux-ng
+vim
+wget
+wireless-tools
+</file>
+To install the root issue:
+<file># poldek --pset=base.lst --uniq --install-dist=/path/to/root
+</file>
+To upgrade/install/remove packages at any time just use the ''-r'' parameter:
+<file># poldek -r /path/to/root -u anypackage
+</file>
+===== Preparing the ISO image =====
+Start by installing the [[http://www.linux-live.org/|linux-live]] package (''linux-live-build'' package in PLD Linux) on your host system.
+Remember to set password for ''root'' or alter ''/etc/inittab'' to execute shell instantly after boot or you'll not be able to login. To set the password, just mount ''/dev'' and ''chroot'' to the installation root:
+<file># mount /dev /path/to/root/dev -o bind
+# chroot /path/to/root
+</file>
+Now you can put any necessary changes in place.
+To build your CD use:
+<file># export ROOT=/path/to/root
+# export ISO_IMAGE=/path/to/result.iso
+# linux-live-build
+</file>
+===== Booting from USB =====
+First, create a FAT16 or FAT32 on the device.
+Then extract the ISO contents onto the USB device you are going to use.
+Next, unmount the device and run (this requires having the ''syslinux'' package installed):
+<file># syslinux -d boot/syslinux /dev/sdXY
+</file>
+Where ''sdXY'' is the partition you created earlier.
