bootable linux cd with stumbling tools

hello, Im pretty green when it comes to linux, but im pretty sure this idea of mine is possible and has been done before, but I was hoping that maybe one of the more expierenced linux users out there might help me along : ). Im getting a dell laptop in a week or so, and an orinoco goldcard, and I plan to build an antennae. What i want to do is have a bootable cd with linux installed on it, that will have all of my device drivers, and all of the tools I need for stumbling, pre installed, so that when im out and about with my laptop, or when Ineed to use some software that requires linux, all I have to do is boot up the cd, hopefully it could access my fat partition for log files and such, or maybe it could run using a ram drive? if all im doing is using stumbling tools, 256megs should be plenty then I could save the logs to a floppy and bring them in windows like that, but I think a distro that will access fat would be the best idea, maybe we can make a template distro, then all that other users would have to do, is gather all the drivers they need, and burn it. anybody feeling generous? hehe
