But this is one of the reasons that I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling when I hear talk of 'copying the livecd to the disk' as the main part of the install. There will always be customizations like 'jack' on the livecd. I'm not comfortable that the list of things to 'undo' after copying the files to the drive will always be 100% up to date. This leaves me wanting to always install directly from the set of packages. It's also very similar to the reason I don't trust upgrades. -Kyle > - Bart > > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
