Would it be possible to : integrate the creation stuff into the debian-cd script? It would be : really nice if people can test Debian on a CD-ROM first. And it would be triply cool if you could front end it with a small kernel selector, to pick a kernel that supports your hardware. The current kernels are pretty good, but there are a couple of choices. Then it could be a generic rescue CD. And by the way, why isn't this a package ? At least the iso-image generation part of it if the cd image is too big (I would think it is). Share the wealth, this sounds like a really, really nice tool. -- Dean Carpenter [EMAIL PROTECTED] 94 TT :) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
