I'm in the process of making my own various flavors of liveCD for personal use....not by remastering the KNOPPIX file, but just by creating multiple versions of backup.tar.gz, each on its own DSL CD.
I'm rebuilding my favorite extensions, making them RAM-friendly (keeping them in /opt and /home), adding some files which have been removed from the packages, and putting them all into a single archive along with my personal configs. Each CD will be customized for a particular use, like reference, multimedia, etc., and have different visual themes.
It's pretty much the same as putting extensions into the root of the CD, except that each CD has a unique set of programs and configurations, and hopefully will all run without having to open up more than /opt, /home and /var. Plus the extensions aren't loaded via mydsl-load so they won't be all listed under a single submenu.
I suppose it's unnecessary when I could just put all my apps and themes on a single CD, but I like messing around with DSL.
