On top of that, the description on how the distro works are rather
sketchy. One day, I'll download the ISO nonetheless - just because it
looks pretty cool.
In the meantime, I am playing with mklivecd
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/mklivecd). I ran the older version
yesterday and got a working live CD within less than an hour - and that
includes the time it took for debootstrap to do its thing using a rather
slow internet connection. Looks quite promising.
