Hi Craig
I think it's a great idea. I can see the value in the process.
When new releases of e-smith come out I always like to try 'em first to see
what's been changed. It's easier for me to do that at my desk, rather than
down in my "server room".
Please carry on and make the how-to. It will be found useful by many I'm
sure.
Regards
Geraint

Subject: [e-smith-devinfo] HOWTO for Dual Booting with E-Smith
> Hello,

to

way.
