I know that. I had this peace of documentation already. Btw. there's an error 
in this document it's about the mkisofs for ppc, I will change that but it 
cost me about 5 days googling around.

I want to use another desktop and configure it with the scripts casper uses 
(like the sed stuff that enables auto login)

Isn't there any documentation available?
