what is so useful about this distro anyways, running from a CD is way too slow, and not at all feasable for much of anything except maybe testing to see how it is.
2GB of software fitting in the palm of your hand (well a big hand), that can be run at will on any PC (with or without an OS) isn't useful. How else would you partition up a couple of disks, raid them, format them and run amrecover across the network to reinstall your server after a failed disk in little over an hour? -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
