I talked with flux_control and it seems that my idea about creating an 
ISO isn't completely realistic. It would probably be too much work in my 
current situation. But if you could supply caches of basesystem spells 
(and some other tidbits I might need) I'd love to try and shove them on 
my laptop's HD. I have a good kernel config already, so I can deal with 
any generic hardware compat issues.
