:It looks like where we are at is...
:
:1. RCNG scripts need to be taught how to tell rc.conf how
:   to execute them.

    I think the RCNG scripts can almost be used as-is, at least during 
    initial development.  We might want to beef up their capabilities a bit,
    for example in regards to reinitializing a network interface... things
    like that.

:This allows work to begin on the actual user interface design.
:
:5. Break up make release so we have a bootable live intstallation image.
:
:Is this a correct understanding of the discussion so far?
:
:Robert Garrett

    Heh.  More like rewrite it, almost.  A new make release (maybe 
    'make release2' for development purposes) is the first step.  It
    need only boot into a login: prompt intitially.

    So what additional packages do we need on the live CD?

	cpdup (I will make this part of the base system)
	X
	Apache
	php4-cgi
	Python
	links (or equiv)

	mkisofs
	growisofs

	(+ dependancies)
