Press release about how to create a script for installing software like 
Geoserver onto the Live DVD is here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_28

and process is here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GISVM_Build

I strongly urge someone to write such an installer, as this is the first 
step required to get Geoserver packaged up into Debian and Ubuntu.
