the iso_root is the cd itself that boots and runs the installer.
Is a https browser needed by others too ?
I had planned on adding links-twibright as an optional spell for installation 
 
but should I be thinking about adding it to the iso_root also ?

This also brings up another point, how many people out there are keeping  
stories like this to themselves ? If people are coming across problems during 
installation please report them. Big or small report them. 
There is no point in me doing any of this if it does not fulfill peoples 
needs, so if you have  ideas, or problems, bring them up and we can create 
solutions.
The days of the ISO not being a subject for discussion are over.
Bugs in bugzilla are good too, I like being able to login to my bookmarked 
ISO/cauldron page and see exactly what bugs exist, instead of trawling 
through hundreds of emails and the forums looking for a single comment I have 
forgotten.
