Any apache hackers among us? What would be _realy_ cool is an apache module / cgi / ... to build the iso on the fly, using for example jigdo as a backend tool. Or even better (for those running linux at least) - do it in the VFS layer. That way other services like rsync would benefit from it too. Oh well, if only time was a bit more... stretchable:-) // Emil > Addition of jigdo yes.
