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.
