I haven't done it, I'll take care of it by next w/e. Once I'll have
the test setup ready I'll add the bits and pieces that may still be

Yes.

Quick question(s), is support for loopinstall also in live ISO? In the
alternate/live cd initrd is there some mechanism for scanning for a
preseed file left over by the windows GUI or does it require a boot
parameter like preseed/file?
