I like this idea, for some time I have been copying the cd's to drive for the
computers I build, and generating a HD.IMG installation/reinstallation
floppy, which I put in an envelope taped to the computer case.
And yes it is very hand to never have to run around looking for the cd's to
install a new application.
the above suggestions would be ecclent to add to the next distro release.
