From here: https://antixlinux.com/the-most-extensive-live-usb-on-the-planet/ /quote/ Customization Instead of packing every conceivable program into the antiX live-usb, we kept it small and lightweight but made it extremely easy to customize. If there are programs you want that are missing from the live system, simply install them via Synaptic or cli-aptiX, do a live-remaster and voilà, it's just like those programs came pre-installed. \quote\ Also, lots of helpful tutorials here https://www.youtube.com/user/runwiththedolphin/videos
