Is there some scriptable way for an ordinary individual (like me) to produce these LiveCD's? I had just sent the link to a faculty member here at my university who teaches a "Computing in Global Society" course, and was hoping that the LiveCD's would remain, and be updated regularly, as they're a lot "nicer" way of introducing others to the environment in a non-intrusive way.
