Well I recently did clean them up. They are about as clean now as they're going to get (I think). What I think might need to be discussed is if an entirely new build methodology is in order. Some time ago, I brought up the possibility of using package management to ease maintenance of the CD. We started (a very small start) down this path but never followed through. > 2.

Either update XFCE to 4.6.2, or replace it with LXDE (and we > should add XFCE and/or LXDE to the book, and add back HAL support > since it's usable again.) Again depends on #1. Also, it depends on what the purpose of the CD is decided to be. I'm not 100% certain the cd should even contain X. > 4. And elect a new maintainer for this package. Very possible. I don't mind staying on and managing, but I can't do all the work alone. I also don't mind handing over the reins entirely if that is what is best for the project. > I will really apprecate it if the LiveCD has gone back alive, as I've > been using Sidux to build LFS, and I would love it if I can matain > this project.
