[plug] System Restore CD

[Onno Benschop]

Hi all,

I've got a Debian gateway machine that is running in the bush, that is 
going to be living at a client's premises. The client is not 
particularly computer savvy and I wish to make a system restore CD, sort 
of like a GHOST or ISO image that self-installs and writes all of the 
gateway settings onto the hard-disk. This is to allow me to do two things:

   1. Offer the client a means to recover from a hard-disk failure.
   2. Offer me a means to update his settings by giving him a new CD
      that magically re-installs his "new" gateway.

I'm a little daunted on how I might create such a magical CD and was 
wondering if anyone around here had some suggestions.
