I am hoping it will make this more tempting for others.  You can even
make a non-ToriOS ISO if you want by modifying the packages in the
package list file.

Actually it might be a great way to build tarballs for OBI for you. 
Just edit the OSMaker config files and build away!

There are also scripts you can edit to do things in the chroot and out
of the chroot to your tarball.

I'm running a full restart from the ground up right now to make sure it
all works fine!
