[Tfug] Image custom install onto CD(s)

take a look to the mkcdrec project...

it takes a image of yor running system (even with custom packages) and
you can dump exactly the same configuration to other HDs

When you boot the created CD, the system gets the same network
connections (eth/DSL etc) (before the restore) this helps a lot on
remote locations

Hope it helps.
