I have to confess, I was getting used to not receiving GNHLUG
posts. :)

whose installer is based on the venerable Timo's Rescue CD kit.
We've ported our product to a more current version of Linux and
when I went to port the installer I discovered that development
on Timo's kit stopped after 2004 and it

So I've been looking for something that'll allow me to create a
new bootable/live/rescue DVD that I can base the new installer
on, and I'd love to find something as simple and flexible as
the Timo's kit; something that just starts a kernel and boots
up to a console login prompt with a

WTF is /sbin/loader ?
It executes early during startup when booting from an ISO. The
only stuff I can find online about this apparently pivotal item
is lots of other people also asking questions, but no answers.
Ah. I used strings on the /sbin/loader file from the ISO

I've been through the upgrade process and I'm still getting used to KDE 4.
I'm frustrated by not being able to have a customized panel with

Yea, I tried 4.0 when it came out, and reverted back to 3.x as I
didn't feel it was up to par quite yet. I was hoping 4.1 did some
catching up.
