Hi Jan:

Wow, even as a NetBSD power use, I had no idea!!! This is cool, I will
compile it ASAP and try it out.

However, I do think that the NetBSD live CD needs to be promoted better,
with a webpage with links to the ISO images, that itself is linked from
the NetBSD home page with a caption that says something like "Run NetBSD
live from just a CD".
