Ok I'm the ignorant one... but maybe this will clarify
the constraints on the distro..

Basically I want to automate all the steps in the
howto that I have to do now to build an arbitrator.
I want to eliminate the  make menu config options, 
patching the kernel and rebuild steps, that users have
to do now. I don't think I want anything more than the
bare minimum software in the software on the CD. I
want to eliminate them so when they install thd CD
there is nothing left to do but hit return a few times
and is your default time zone XYZ.  I then want to pop
a configuration screen for the arbitrator. So if I can
ship something like this or let people download an
image that would do it.

And yes I want to be able sell this bundled distro for
$50 or $60 but heck I need to eat...

So does this need to be custom? Or can it piggy back
on something existing?
