Sure, I was trying to avoid making a concept of a "live" breed, when the live handling as documented (livecd-iso-to-pxeboot) largely works for Fedora-based live CD's only (which includes the Dell Firmware updates). I think a breed called "generic" would be fine. Import would not work for generic and it would be very much a "set it up on your own" sort of thing. --Michael > Regards, > Peter > > This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended > recipient(s) only.
