Creating live CD from already running RHEL 7.7


I'm looking in way to convert already prepared RHEL 7.7 installed on VMware to a LiveCD.

Basically the current installed OS have all ISO and Tools needed for some specific action, and it would be great help if I could just convert it to an ISO and boot it from network ( PXE ) or from a CD.

I have tried Linux Live Kit: https://github.com/Tomas-M/linux-live. Although it finished OK, the resultant ISO is stuck on boot, where it just offer the boot menu and if I click on the boot linux it just start count down over and over..

Is there some easy tool to convert an installed OS to a live CD?

  • livemedia-creator is the tool I ended up using. Still the final squashed image is about 740MB and I can't seems to make it any smaller... will have to do.
