Cool, sounds good.

I sent one with the initial kickstart patch.  My current one doesn't
quite fit on a CD as I try to make it have roughly the same package set
as the default distro install does.

Yep, we definitely should.  I'll try to get some of the README bits and
the like updated over the next day or so.

There's no real reason that the kickstart config _has_ to be
different... size for ppc shouldn't be significantly different.  On
x86_64, doing a CD sized image is perhaps killing ourselves when we
shouldn't given the download numbers for CD vs DVD on x86_64.  And we
don't want to reach the point where there aren't any useful apps on the
image.
