	If anyone is really interested in remastering their own CDs it only
takes about 3 minutes of google to come  up with all the documentation
and how-to's you could ever want.  Believe me, if building your own
distro was all that difficult there wouldn't be four hundred gazillion
different distros out there.  I can definitely understand Johnny's POV
on the subject.  But hell, even _I_ could BMOD (Build My Own Distro) if
I weren't so damned lazy.

	Hey.  BMOD Linux.  Kinda has a ring to it.  If I ever get around to
acquiring a DVD burner of some kind I might take a stab at it.  Or not.
 I really am very lazy.
