I am in a situation that is quite similar to yours; I have remastered a CD or two but am still wrapping my mind around the details - with much help from the kind people here :)
I started at http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=remastering&DokuWiki=1a0aedcc21c63c9cfe... This page contains all the instructions you need to create your own version of grml and should give you a good foundation for what you'll need to learn.

What I want to know is how do you actually make a live cd? What I mean is this, and I will explain what I mean in more detail. [...]
