Thank you for letting me know about these. BSD Installer looks like it
could definitely be of help with the installation utility.

I see what you mean. Originally I thought that the focus of the project
should be to create an installer that was better suited for LiveCD
inclusion, but now I see that the real deliverable is to create a
definitive NetBSD LiveCD. The installer remains important, but the much
of the challenge lies in determining what should be included in the CD
and the best way to configure it. I'll look at your suggestions in more
depth and include them in my proposal.
