Hi,

I'm in the mood to write a port which builds a SystemOnCD (yes, I know
sysutils/cdroot and sysutils/livecd). Something like "cd
/usr/ports/sysutils/SystemOnCD; make" to get an ISO image which contains
a lot of useful stuff you can boot (based upon 5.x) from and use without
the need to install it on a harddisk.

My main target is to produce some kind of recovery/maintenance/repair
CD, but it would be easy to enhance the framework to also allow for a
demo CD, Office CD, Multimedia CD, whatever.

Now the poll: Which port and why would you like to see on such a CD?

Please also specify the main category of the port, e.g.:
  net/ethereal - to be able to diagnose network problems

Please reply to me directly, not to the list.

Bye,
Alexander.
