You only have to start the mklivecd program - - with as little interaction as possible - to build the Live-CD ISO-Image.

What kind of image-types are provided?

At the moment the project is at the beginning of the development process and the released version build a very small basic Linux system.
Later on, it should be possible to select an image-type and mklivecd will build it with a minimum of user interaction.
An image type is a set of packages which defines the type of the image, e.g.

server-image: A Server with a lot of services like, web, mail, dhcp, ldap.
client-image: A typical user client, connected to the server.
workstation-image: A standalone workstation with a small set of service processes.
