+* support template(s/ files) for all the files outside the squashfs image
+* support additional hooks
+* support user specified scripts
+* support creation of DVDs

+
+Why not use make-live/live-package?
+------------------------------------
+
+At the time of writing this lines (8th february 2007) mainly because of the following limitations:
+
+* does not support powerpc
+* does not support booting via usb/firewire (using initramfs => casper)
+* manual configuration of packages not really supported
+* overwrites several files in the chroot without checking for its existance before
+* supports only one so called $LIVE_MIRROR
