RAS and LiveCD

[dbrett at tcn.net]

I was looking at buying a RAS, but could not find one I liked at a price I 
could afford.  I was deciding to build one from and old computer I had 
lying around.  The more I looked into it I though I would build a LiveCD 
to do this.  I found a number of sites which talk about how to build 
LiveCD, but I am in need of information on how to build a RAS which 
windows boxes can connect too as well.  The second thing I need help on is 
modifying LiveCD.

thanks
