Just discovered another project
It seems to me that it takes a normal system and 'lives' it, rather
than building a system from the ground up like we do. Still, one thing
I would like to see in make-live some time is the ability to use
unionfs to merge extra filesystems in. This would allow small squashfs
filesystems to be placed in /mods or something like that to add extra
stuff.
