\begin{abstract}

This document shows the explicit steps necessary to create a Doyen LiveCD from 
Red Hat's Fedora Core 3 distribution. The Doyen CD is a scientific platform 
which can be distributed at various science conferences. It enables scientific 
software to be distributed as literate programs. The Doyen CD has a local wiki 
and a set of scientific packages which can be scripted from the wiki pages. The 
scientific packages can be tailor to the specific conference.
