Making (live) images

• See DebianCustomCD https://wiki.debian.org/DebianCustomCD. A possible "alternative" to this procedure is to use Simple-CDD https://wiki.debian.org/Simple-CDD.
• Voidlinux make live https://github.com/voidlinux/void-mklive
• Liberté linux (gentoo based) as candidate for a minimalist Live USB for emergencies, adapted to our needs, see Liberté linux, tails, whonix, freepto
