Hmm I'm a bit confused. There were some people recently that thought loud about that. If the effort would be taken and the "Mandrake Mini CD" would be developed further, there could fasdt be such a solution. On http://minicd.berlios.de/ is a project that aims to be a knoppix-like cd based on Mandrake. As i have it understood the goal is a script that makes a cd out of packages from the distro. Haven't got it that far yet. Maybe bundling the efforts of people interested in such a script-set would help. I haven't understood umigumi as whole, but maybe it can help here too. Regards Steffen
