i've long been meaning to add netboot support for simple-cdd...  network
boot and usb images are high on my priority list.

slightly more difficult would be to have simple-cdd generate just tiny
CD with just kernel and initrd, and the rest over network mirror. or
enough for d-i itself and a base system + network mirror.

now that the d-i beta is out, i hope to put more energy into simple-cdd
again.  :)

live well,
