This answers my question about 3.0-beta3. Btw. Remastersys is included to AVLinux by default, never tested it, because I don't have AVLinux installed. I'm doing backups for my 64 Studio 3.0-beta3 by just tar.gz the file system using another Linux installation. -- Bert from Sesame Street in Taxi Driver scene "You Talkin' Me?": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IXmHqPWxUw&feature=related _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
