Hi Doug,

Good to hear from you as well!

The reason I dropped geneweb is that it needed new dependencies
and I was not willing to invest all the work needed to include
everything.  It was also my impression that both Lifelines and
Geneweb have small audience, and these programs would not be of
interest to the Live CD audience.  In my experience, people who
got the Live CD were mostly doing it for the sake of trying Gramps.

I don't think I'd have time to hack on improving the CD.
I am posting my script, so if you or somebody else wants to
commit it to the source tree and improve, you're more than welcome!
The script was not intended for other people, so it might
be wanting in documentation, clarity, or even correctness :-)
That said, the script should be fairly straightforward.

The script also relies on the "new" directory that holds
the new content and some scripts.  The tarball with that
directory and the script is here:
    http://MY_LAST_NAME.org/files/meerkat.tar.gz


Hope this helps, and good luck!
Alex
