Yes. It should be possible, as long as the configuration is all there,
images, presets, everything.

You'd also have to make sure all of the libs are ready to go, along with
the architecture and other things configure looks for.

It sounds very cool, but it will definitely have to wait until after ASCP
is stable and ready. (I should have a prototype sometime today if you're
interested.) Also, how would we go about funding and making this CD? Is
this worth the effort or should effort be spent on getting the word out
about the new improved AfterStep? I won't support it fully until it looks
like something that would be both feasible *and* useful.
