Give it as a gift to a techie on your list!!! I'm already doing this, with a few additional features such as mounting a ramdisk over the entire root (so everything is writable), automatic saving and restoring of changed files, automatic XFree86 configuration, ... Everything is done in shellscript and AFAIK it will require no source code change at all, and it works for all versions. I currently have no hosting for the project, so I'm doing everything alone, but I'd really like to get other people involved as well. Regards, Daniela
