You want a Live-CD, check out pkgsrc/sysutils/mklivecd. It's a
shellskript useful to create Live-CDs. It will create a chroot where
you can install all apps you need and then you can create an ISO to be
burnt onto CD.

That's exactly the task Hubert's Ghost 4 Unix[1] was created for. But
AFAIK G4U doesn't support CGD.=20

However, I strongly suggest using dump(8) instead of tar(1). The
unreliability of tar(1) is legendary, see [2], dump(8) is much more stable.
Even better would be a dd(1) of your data. This will read the data
=66rom block level and copy *anything* on your hdd, even already deleted
data ;-)

BTW: I created a Live-CD some weeks ago for my tutorial on secure data
deletion. It is available at [3]. It's only 67MB large and contains of
a down sized NetBSD current without network access, but with CGD. You
could use that CD to dump your data to another harddrive. The dump
could be encrypted on the fly with bdes(1) and secure deleted with
wipe(1) afterwards ;-)
