[finnix] Adding stuff to the finnix image?

[Michael D. Setzer II]

I have a project called g4l that does disk imaging, but doesn't currently have support for 
mounting LVM partitions and some hardware has problems with the kernel.org kernels built 
with everything included. In the past, I had created a tar file that included the additional 
programs, and one could boot from other live cds, and just untar the extra files needed. Back 
then the files were all statically compiled. Did a quick test on Knoppix, and it currently has a 
lot of older libraries. Did a check on Finnix, and it seems to have the latest libraries.

I did need to download the g4l scripts, and some support programs like:
ncftp*
lzop
aespipe
sshfs
jetcat-mod

but the other programs all seem to already be included.

I did have to do modprobe fuse to get the sshfs to work.
