If you don't like  live CDs because they don't comprise of

the apps  you want or carries apps  you don't want, then you must consider

building your own custom live CD. But, traditionally that  has a catch. You need

to be a Linux nerd to do so as it requires a lot of crypts commands for adding

an application to a Live CD. Here is a small Windows based graphical utility

which can help you create a custom SLAX based Live CD with your favorite apps.

The prerequisites are pretty simple. All you need is a SLAX base ISO which you

can download from http://www.slax.org/get_slax.php and a Windows utility called

MySLAX Creator. You can download this from http://sites.google.com/site/myslaxcreator/.

Once you have downloaded them,  install MySLAX  Creator. The installation Wizard

is very easy.  Once  done, you will be required to download the Modules of your

favorite apps. You can find hundreds of  pre-created modules at http://www .slax.org

/modules.php
