Thanks for that Brad,

I d/l your image yesterday, loopback mounted it, added my script, made a few
other changes, and I was off.
I would like to start playing with making a disk like this for myself, but
based on Red Hat (I assume yours is Debian based)

Can you point me to any tutorials on the web (saves me trawling through
google, tldp and the likes) on how to go about it.

Once again, cheers for your assistance.
Jay
