According to what we wrote eachother already per private mail bevore, we
need basically three sorts of package selections (names are just
randomly taken):
* one core (or mini) system:
all packages of priority required.
* one base system:
core system + all packages of priority important and standard
* multiple desktop systems:
base + one desktop environment (kde/gnome/xfce/$whatever)
.oO(does anybody think, a server profile would be useful? I don't think so.)

I'm myself more the 'bottom-up'-guy. I will report later about the
'building the squash-enabled kernel' sh-snipplet. Next one for me would
be, to prepare sh-snipplets for bootstrapping mentioned profiles into a
directory.
