Hi Caryl, I think that might be possible, I vaguely seem to remember that it might already be able to do this in Fedora.
As Mel has said it wouldn't currently fit on a standard CD as the SoaS image is currently around 500Mb so the combined pair would be over a gig. Can you file a ticket against SoaS so it can be tracked?
