[ale] scripted lfs?

[Stephen Turner]

hey ive played with gengoo a little and was considering making my own
scripts for building systems. what i had in mind was to take a general
kernal like redhat debian or various install or boot cds use plus a very
minimal system just enough to untar onto a system and install lilo or
something and be a usable system. from there have it able to use a dl
agent like wget and bash scripts. what i had aimed at doing was making the
quickest to install easiest to modify system. a real linux from scratch
that comes prepackaged. the scripts would have different settings, some
automatically keeping things up to date (could be dangerous at breaking
systems i know.). 

i liked gentoos scripted installs and dep handlers. it installs only what
you need. however gentoo installs some unneeded apps for servers
sometimes, eh not many and yes they can be edited out but what about a
very basic system that can be used as a pre-scripted firewall, webserver
or desktop system? and gentoo downloads all the scripts, what i had hoped
for was a central repository of scripts and downloading only the ones you
use, and no need for updated scripts as these would seek out the most
updated version of the package. 

has anyone seen something like this? or wrote something like this? ive
been busy lately just got back into playing with linux :-p took a cruise
down to the bahamas, said hi to ivan. lots of fun. oh well later guys.
