I have made a number of suggestions on this list, as have others about
things that might be improved. They aren't necessarily bugs.

1. Splitting the process into phases like rpmbuild
2. Defining a customisation precedure/process.
3. Running prelink on the resulting CD before burn
4. I would add running depmod as well, I have added kernel modules.
5. Splitting the 'Base' rpm list into a 'Core' + others so that a
   minimal CD is easier to produce.
6. Maybe using squashfs instead of zisofs
7. Sorting files to better optimize the CD.

Yes. My suggestions would include such things as;
Network Diagnostics/Toolbox
Quagga Router

No, as I was hoping there was a better method than what I used. I
believe I have mentioned in an earlier email that managing the repo(s)
is something that possibly warrants more work. I haven't volunteered to
do it as I am sure that there a people who know more about such things
than I do.
