Chad,
Check out the following instructions for building a cygwin cd
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg01117.html. They were used to build xlivecd.

Can you use IU's Cygwin-based XLiveCD?
It does look good, and I wasn't aware of it. Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, it won't quite do what I want. I doesn't have tetex, which is definitely one of my must-have packages.
However, it does look like they got the symlinks to work on the cd, so if I can figure how to do that myself, I'm set. I don't see anything in their docs that indicates how they constructed the CD image though.
