I like the idea, but I've never used unionfs.  The docs for unionfs seem
to be kind of scarce.  Can you post some examples of how you use it?

If I understand your suggestion before, the /etc directory would be
un-tar'ed on the CD.  Then a unionfs in memory would be a branch above
it and all the additions/changes are made there?

How do we modify save-config to only save the changes in the upper
modified branch?  Can we just save that directory?  (I need to play with
unionfs, except it's not included in my 1.3 either :)

Another advantage of doing this is the size of the config file saved to
the floppy/usb would be a LOT smaller!
