As I work my way through setting up the live CD, I am trying to come
up with a list of other possible improvements, does anyone have
suggestions for other things that could be done to improve the
clustering LiveCD?

I have begun trying to create the liveCD image.  I had to create
specifies for x86, because I don't have an AMD64 machine.  I ran into
a problem setting up NFSroot.  When I ran this command:
catalyst -f stage1.spec
I ended up getting an error message, I have attached the output from
catalyst to this e-mail with all the details.  Any idea what I might
be doing wrong?
