OK so whats missing PCMCIA? ACPI? I thought they were depreceated these 
days?

Also if i generate locales in the chroot we should be able to set
locale.gen to en_GB ISO-8859-1
which should give us an en_GB keyboard at least and also maybe remove 
the xscreensvaer package.

also maybe we should be creating more wifi modules, if so would it make 
sense to have 2 live cd's desktop and laptop what do you think?
