Live CD target - comments and personal todo

Hello,

first I'd like to say, I like the target. It is booting fast, and shadowfs is 
really neat. It is great work. 
Nevertheless we can't compete to other livecds on the market in terms of 
userfriendliness and customization. Unfortunately upcoming exams preventing 
me to complete the target this way. But I want to post my thoughts and todo 
on this topic, so that you can bother me to work on that task when exams are 
finished ;-). 

- Booting straight into kde
this can be done by using kdm's autologin mode (this also provides a nice way 
to shut down easily). This is already basically done, needs some tweaking and 
testing
This also means using some default settings for KDE instead of running 
kpersonalizer.

- Ejecting the CD when shutting down
this should be just one line in the system skript.

- Better handling of devices (e.g. detecting and mounting sticks and cameras 
automatically)
KDE supports such mechanism, haven't looked into that though.
We perhaps should consider to drop devfs for this target because this is 
confusing most users and most documentation available on the net regarding 
non devfs systems.

- Making the bootloader configurable to support multiple keymaps and languages
I thought of autogenerating isolinux.cfg according to options set in 
scripts/Config

- Creating Livecds which default to other locales and keyboard mappings
This will be configurable via scripts/Config as well

- Creating icons of non KDE applications in startmenu
This is done by a cron job which runs after a stone install, i guess just 
running that before 2nd stage image is compressed will be sufficient.

- Creating a script which reads rocker home from an external media and having 
a tool to sync (perhaps this can be taken from knoppix)

- Adopting and integrating the graphical knoppix tools for network setup

- Adding boot options to select another graphics driver than framebuffer

- Writing some introductionary documentation for the user ;-)

So please flame, suggest and comment on this
(and don't forget to bother me after february is done ;-)

Cheers,

Daniel
