Rather than having the entire operating system here, we just use kickstarts with livecd-creator to make livecds.
This is a guide on how it works.

Here is a guide on editing kickstarts:

<h2>Creating a live image from a kickstart</h2>
A Fedora installation (Either on disk or in a virtual machine)
livecd-tools
Basic knowledge of using the Linux command-line
A recent version of the kickstarts (see Files, and then download a leaf as a zip)
First, open up a terminal and become root.
$ su
Then, install livecd-tools.
# yum install livecd-tools
Now set SELinux to permissive.
# setenforce 0
Change to the directory that you’ve downloaded this archive to, and then change to the “anonos” directory.
# cd anonos
Make a cache directory (/var/cache/live writes to RAM and swap, so the space will be used up quick.)
# mkdir cache
Copy and paste one of the below to start making your chosen liveCD.
Make sure you have enough space for twice the liveCD’s size. (usually 2GBs)
For Annonaceae:
livecd-creator \
--config=annonaceae.ks \
--fslabel=Annonaceae V.0.0.6 --cache=cache
For Cherimoya:
livecd-creator \
--config=cherimoya.ks \
--fslabel=Cherimoya V.0.0.6 --cache=cache
Once you are done, free up space by deleting ~/cache.
# rm -r cache
