Hello Guillermo,
Well, it's obviously possible but you'll need to do a lot of work for
that probably.
Basically, I'd say that live-installer could give you some idea how it
could be done and I also think that you'd need to produce a custom
script to make the final CD since you'd need to put the required
installer modules available there and since it looks to not be Debian
based you'll need to take care about it yourself.
