I have some notes for rebuilding a live image with a patched kernel.  I 
got the external modules
to compile once with something very like what is in the notes, but I was 
not able to do it a
second time.  I think there may be some soft/hard link loop somewhere.  
If you try these
steps, let me know how it works out.

Please ignore the stuff related to LANforge..that is my project that I 
am adding to the custom
live cd.
