Not to my knowledge, but I suspect that the peices are there for someone who 
knows how to create a live image.  It would probably need some infrastructure 
support to let it know to which names/IPs it should connect - there would of 
course be names/IPs in the netperf scripts, but those would have to be ass-u-me-d 
to be the right ones for any live CD boot, so something somewhat "generic" with 
DNS support might be in order, or an init script that knows from whence to 
bootstrap to get the target name/IPs.

I will see about making sure some of my "omni" scripts make it into the source 
repository under docs/examples
