I've been thinking (and that can be dangerous s I tend to overheat!).

If the installer, when run from a CD, looked in, say /installimage.iso, 
for something to install then one could
	Convert a Gubuntu CD to Kubuntu by remastering the ISO, replacing 
/installimage.iso with the KDE image
	Convert a Kubuntu CD to Gubunt by remastering the ISO, replaceing 
/installimage.iso with the Gnome ISO
	Create a derivitave by remastering the ISO, replaceing 
/installimage.iso with the Derivitave ISO
	Create a DVD image by remastering the ISO, replaceing /installimage.iso 
with a combined Gnome, KDE, Edubuntu ISO

The base CD _might_ have the common stuff in the base CD image, or maybe 
in /baseimage.iso so even that could be replaced.
