Yeah, I was hoping to produce an alternate disk that did all this
without intevention.

PS I'm massively reworking the archiso scripts. If you look at the
current install-iso config dir, way too much is done in our makefile,
and I don't like it. I also don't like the way image mounting is done.
So just be warned the actual way to build the ISO is going to change.
As long as you keep your stuff structured nicely, it should be a
matter of just moving things around when I get my changes in.

I will probably be working on this tonight (now + 3 hours), so if you
have input, feel free to contact me over jabber if you'd like.

Cheers,
Aaron
