yes. using tar from the live-system would be unfortunate, as it highers the requirements on the live-system (yes, I'm aware that tar is of priority required). currently, live-installer just 'dumps' any live-system to target, which makes it universally usable, not just for pure debian. OTOH having additional C code isn't much of a problem, since the udeb is already arch dependent anyway. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
