I read through your attachment, and nothing stands out that would make this any less workable on a Debian system. Hopefully if you get it working, it could be incorporated as an option in the new debian-installer. It seems like the strategy there should work for modifying the root.bin disk. The rescue disk contains only the kernel, so you will be able to skip the step of removing the initrd from there. Mounting root.bin on a loopback should give you the access you need; the only question will be whether it will fit. If you are using i386, you may be OK; and if not, you might be able to remove some other stuff you don't need, for example language-chooser, extra keymaps, or programs for handling reiserfs or ext3 filesystems. But take my input with a grain of salt, maybe somebody else will chime in. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
