I've got directions on how to rip apart a Cobalt OSRCD on a Linux box,
add PKG files (from the website, etc), and then recreate a new ISO
image. If there is interest in this (I know many "veterans" have done
this themselves), let me know and I'll post them.

That way, you can make your own "up to date" OSRCDs (and keep them up to
date when new PKGs are released).

Note (ahead of time): the individual system build time _does_ increased
with this method, as it takes a while to install the PKG files onto the
server... (should be obvious, but I always like to restate the obvious
up front for the few who won't "get it")
