'''mklivecd''' is a script for [Linux](/source/Linux_kernel) [distributions](/source/Linux_distribution) that allows for one to compile a "snapshot" of the current hard drive partition and all data which resides in it (all settings, applications, documents, bookmarks, etc.) and compress it into an ISO 9660 CD-image. This allows easy backup of a user's data and also makes it easy to create customized Linux-distribution.  Some Linux-distributions like [PCLinuxOS](/source/PCLinuxOS) include a graphical frontend for easier script usage.
