Like I said, I like the idea of a "jumbo" CD.  A CD with all the
"extras" that can be used for just about anything.

I would prefer to use the samba USE flag instead with livecd-tools.  The

it would require a good bit of hacking to modify the samba ebuild to do
what we want, rather than to modify a package we fully control.
