[plug] F-Prot on Bootable CD

[I am the LinuxAlien]

On my search through Freashmeat mailing list emails I found this.
I Think this is like what I need but if any one has some more suggestions 
please tell me. Some thing simple is what I need and I have a spare HD that 
I can build a system on. Maybe if I install the Debian base system on that 
and the other packages that I need I will be able to make and ISO of that?
Thanks
Tim

GENDIST (the Linux Distribution Generator) allows you to easily create your 
own special distribution. It creates a makefile-based build system for your 
distribution, and helps you to automate the following three tasks: 
maintaining your root filesystem, maintaining your "CD 
filesystem" (in case you create a bootable CD), and packaging 
everything on media.
