	This is the same challenge I'm facing at the moment too.

	It's an excellent process and I really like the idea, but
	unfortunately the rsync at the end of the process doesn't work under
	all conditions where proxies are involved..

	At the moment, I'm relished to make a psuedo image (which uses wget
	over a proxy), but it looks like I'm going to have to burn it, take
	it home and do the rsync from there... and then reburn it to use
	it.. :-(

	Anyone with a better idea ?

	Cheers,

	Marcus
