Your CDs won't reach as many people as possible, I fear. I fear because I (for example) have no amd64 systems and just by the name of the snapshot cd image i need to have to use your script, I won't be able to use the final product. FYI, an i386 OS can run on amd64 bit chips, with the same rules that apply. However, the mfsroot/tmpfs hooks i'm interested to see, so I am looking over your script. I have a script that will build a i386 system from the ground up. I keep hacking it as my needs change. I'll provide it if people would rather have a "virgin" livecd based on the install cd sets or if it's better to have a patched one. Thanks for the email, i'll look at it.
