Lars, I have been spending my time on KIWI and Sabayon and I can't get very 
far with either, the KIWI netboot image does not adjust itself to hardware 
very well yet and I may be miscommunicating the problems.
I have hardware that I know works with LTSP5 but not with kiwi, yet!!! These 
guys are brilliant and busy like you so work is slow but fun.

Sabayon needs some work, I cannot edit the "main menu" with the "Menu Layout" 
application within sabayon but I can on the host. I have contacted the 
package maintainer and filed a bug.  I don't know gconf very well so I can't 
figure out how to do it manually. I do have a desktop background, Icons and 
menu scheme, for the elementary group. I will look for some other grade level 
backgrounds this week.
