	Hello.
Currently live-dvd-X.nix supports choosing one of a few configurations 
at boot time, offline installation (with sources) and non-root user 
login. It can be used later as package source, but that requires linking 
/tmp/inst-store to mountpoint (as it is done during installation). It is 
just a  set of options to rescue-cd-configurable.nix . So now the 
question is 'what to put on CD'. For example I added out-of-kernel 
MadWifi driver on DVD. So we need to decide what to put on CD - it is 
not more complicated than just writing a configuration for system. At 
least unless you try to provide choices instead of aggregation anywhere 
else.. Multiple independent choices are currently not supported.

OK, what software and drivers do we want (and may we distribute it, 
there are problems with firmware)?
