Talking how to create live cd of own distro ?

Hi guys....

I have a iso of my own distro that is based on redhat 9 i have removed some modules from it so that it can become lighter. I have created its iso also. Now the problem is i want to create its live cd, i googled lot but not able to find a way to do this.. because each and every where they say that how to create fedora live cd , how to create ubuntu live cd this and that etc etc...

So if any body knows creating live cd of our own distro.. it will great help to me...

It is possible to do it I'm sure but it would require a lot more work. I think modules such as squashfs or ovlfs would need to be built into the kernel as well as USB into the initrd.

Why are you working on Red Hat 9? It is very old and doesn't support nearly as much hardware as a newer distro so it would only be useful on old machines. Also you are missing out on things like udev and hotplug which make life a lot easier, nowhere moreso than on a livecd.
