This sounds perfect :) How would I get the iso to build with the files
in the root directory of the CD though? Or would I have to rebuild the
ISO myself with mkisofs?
What do you need testing with Sabayon?
With Sabayon, we want to integrate the process of tweaking the default
live system desktop user's settings into Revisors GUI, so that you
select packages, tweak some system settings, add a user, tweak the
desktop for that user (Sabayon), and start the compose. The culprit here
is that Sabayon would run in an earlier stage then the actual
installation of packages, and as such will not be able to represent in
any way what the desktop will look like for the user on the resulting
product.
For now, I suggest you go with the description of how to do things in
the other mail I just sent (and should already have hit your INBOX).
