I'm rebuilding the latest SystemImager trunk RPMs and will make them available here: http://www.bcgsc.ca/downloads/oscar/systemimager/dev/ Thanks, Bernard > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Andrea Righi > Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 14:39 > To: Bernard Li > Cc: [email protected]; Mark Seger > Subject: Re: [Sisuite-devel] what about systems with no floppy drives? > > > Bernard, > > could you try with the last trunk?
