knoppix is a LOT of work ... making polished and usable
recovery/advanced_install CD is what i am after ATM.

Adding more features later on (like X and KDE/GNOME) is possible.

Also i don't think there is anything like compressed fs in netbsd at this
time, making some sort of bzip loop would be doable i guess, like there
is crypto loop. Hrm but how would you go backwards in such a loop???
Implementing such thing is way beyond my current skills i am just saying
that it most likely can be done.
