I wonder, is it somehow possible to generate "multi-session" ISO images that would let users add in the non-free firmware by mere concatenation? I know you can do multisession DVD+RWs with growisofs, but I have no clue if there are compatibility issues when doing this with raw CDs. > netboot: cp At least on archs where the initramfs is fed directly to the tftp server, my understanding is that it should be possible to concatenate multiple cpio archives to provide a single initramfs. (At least, that was supposed to be one of the selling points of initramfs!) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
