Here is a short course (with some excursions) to help you take your existing Desktop, roll it into an ISO pipe and smoke a USB stick or CD. This is not a task for the faint-hearted - there are no automated scripts in here!

Part of the reason for this hands-on approach is that each desktop system will have its own quirks, so writing scripts which handle the various conditions which might arise is painful. Secondly, there are numerous choices possible - you must mix your own. Finally, I must confess that I do not feel energetic enough to write the scripts at this point. Instead, you have this article!

So if you have spent a lot of time fine-tuning your configuration and want to waste some more time putting it onto a (re)movable drive - read on.
