Jiri Suchomel has created YaST module that makes creating KIWI images breeze, here are the steps to create your own live distro. As mentioned earlier, on other posts, you can choose to create Xen and other virtual machine images too.
The module is quite self explanatory, but here are the steps anyway.
Run yast2 product-creator after installing the YaST module.
Select the image you want to build.
After adding additional repositories like Guru, packman, nvidia and others Select patterns/packages you want on your distro.
You can add default users and that is about it, click on “Create ISO” and you have your own distribution with all the goodies you need.
The module is in very early stage of development, but it clearly shows the promise of making system imaging approachable to everyday user. Bugs reports, enhancement request can be made to Jiri Suchomel, see http://en.opensuse.org/KIWI for details.
Have fun!

[...] A similar GUI was now developed for OpenSuse’s tool KIWI. As Revisor KIWI is mainly developed to produce re-spins in various forms. While it is said to be distribution independent it is mainly used for OpenSuse. The best known application yet is arguable the KDE Four Live spin featuring an OpenSuse with a recent KDE 4 svn version installed. Now the first screenshots of a GUI (in early development ) were revealed. Everyone who is used to Yast will feel at home immediately as it looks like. [...]

sounds and looks cool… would be great if it would be available in the base install of opensuse 10.3
