When I did a workshop on LinuxTag Karlsruhe last year Klaus Knopper
was present and regarded it as a really cool idea. He would definitely
support efforts in this direction but he admitted that he does not
feel competent enough regarding Debian packaging and his time scale
does not permit to work in this direction. Moreover Fabian Franz
(who is busy writing the harddisk installer for Knoppix and some other
Knoppix related stuff) was successful in implementing the bottom-up
approach for PowerPC. BUt this was more or less a design study and
Fabian told me that he has time constraints to continue working on
this topic.
There were some other people interested and did some stuff which might be
a good start, but all in all it is currently not much more than an idea ...

Definitely!
My main concern is to fix this in the first place.
Kind regards
Andreas.
