I didnt make it, but i dont see any technical reasons why it can not
be a loopback mounted iso image.

i would guess that depends on how much data are needed.

I dont think the efford is worth it. Because, the main, or root as i
call it,
server could have all kinds of needs. That properly isnt any services,
other
than ssh, perhaps some routing deaemons, and stuff like that. They would
how
ever still need alot of other packages and programs, like log checking
tools,
rootkit checking tools, backup tools, devellopment tools, at least for
compiling
a new kernel. Why not just use a part of those packages other
distributions
already have develloped ??
