that is an excellent way to go.

please, test the etch version instead :)

just created a short howto from an earlier posting ot this list:

http://wiki.debian.org/Simple-CDD/Howto

the sarge version, while it works with sarge, is kind of ugly, crude and
hackish, and is prone to break. i think the etch-based version is much
better. i'd rather get the etch version working well than support the
sarge version at this point.

live well,
