No status report yet.  However, my short term goals with respect to the ISO
are as follows:

 - Get a new ISO released with a late release of sorcery, compiled with gcc
3.2 for i386, a more modularized kernel, and any immediate bugfixes to the
base install that are doable right now (this could take a few days to get
this all organized, put together, and tested)
 - Then, start work on moving to an ISO with the new install
process/installer.

Ryan, when I have a new test-ISO available, can we get me some access to
place it online instead of using my own bandwidth?

Vacation time, family birthdays, and the rest of Real Life (tm) that has
been keeping me away from doing much with SM the past couple of weeks has
now passed, and I can now start devoting a little more time every day to the
projects at hand.
