I think a UserContributions page would be a great idea; perhaps it
would also be a good place to store any additional post-install-scripts
that others would contribute?

BTW, the reason I tried ISOs without compression is that when I run
an ISO under QEMU (without the accelerator), there's
a noticable speed improvement when reading files for the first time
(i.e. booting, launching apps, etc. especially in the "Doing the 
pivot_root" phase).  Since I'm running these from Windows & Linux
from a USB keychain, speed has been important :)  Although, overall,
running under QEMU is pretty darn slow to begin with...

Anyway, I would be happy to detail any of this on the wiki, but I'd
like to wait until I know where such details would be best placed
first :)
