Bootstrap? The best bet is to get an external USB HDD setup your own ftp tree 
on that with only the specific packages you want. The create your bootstrap 
with the HDD as the installation source.

I haven't a clue how to set this up but the the idea is sound. The people 
installing may not have internet access hence the HDD idea.
