Based on what I have desscribed in the two previous posts, I have now made a Linux distribution with an install CD. It is called Bachata Linux, check it out here.

When booting a regular Linux system, it just mounts some partition with a nice file system (such as ext4) on your HDD on / read/write and there you go. When booting from a CD-ROM, it’s not that simple. The CD-ROM file system, ISO 9660, does not support the file names and attributes that a Linux system normally needs. And the CD-ROM is read only. There are ways to work around these issues.
