I debated about putting that in there. The reason why I did was because if someone isn't careful about running lh_clean with the proper flags, it will flush out all of the deb files too. When I was first working with Debian Live several months ago I was using the Debian live FAQ as my sole source of information. Sometimes they list the proper flags and other times they just say `lh_clean`. I finally came to the conclusion that if someone was using my guide, as well as reading the FAQ, I don't want them to accidentally forget a flag and have to re-download the packages off of someone's mirror multiple times. Even if they have a fast connection it is still bandwidth pulled from the host mirror. I just think that this is an easy way to help catch some simple mistakes. > > > If there is something that I don't cover that you think I should have, > > please let me know and I will see what I can do to add it. > > Do you know of a way to cross-build the nvidia modules package?

However, the first place I would look is here: http://alioth.debian.org/~lamby-guest/live-manual/html/packages.html#cus tom-packages Hope that helps! > > Regards, > Andrei > -- > If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. > (Albert Einstein) Have fun! ~Stack~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
