        This is the same challenge I'm facing at the moment too.

        It's an excellent process and I really like the idea, but
        unfortunately the rsync at the end of the process doesn't work under
        all conditions where proxies are involved..

        At the moment, I'm relished to make a psuedo image (which uses wget
        over a proxy), but it looks like I'm going to have to burn it, take
        it home and do the rsync from there... and then reburn it to use
        it.. :-(

        Anyone with a better idea ?

        Cheers,

        Marcus
