A tip I forgot to mention above is probably vital for 256MB systems and perhaps even 512MB PCs. I found this gem on the PCLinuxOS forums when searching for mklivecd
Edit the<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/share/mklivecd/linuxrc file & replace line 66
RAMSIZE=1000000 # default ramdisk size
with RAMSIZE="$(expr $TOTALMEM / 3)" # default ramdisk size
Also I've found that apps like the media player Totem that use mru (most recently used) files/folder info is preserved by mklivecd. I think it is tidy to find & deletede all this cruft data even if its not sensitive.
