Heh... only if the improved system is smaller :-) Seriously, one of the things I really _like_ about LEAF is that so much of it is built on elegant scripting hacks like this. About a year ago I was able to take apart an EigersteinBETA2 image and figure out the whole process from boot to prompt just by reading scripts. I'm sure the same thing can be done with the latest distributions. I've tried to do the same with some of the various Mandrake versions I've used (6.0 through 8.0) and it's a hell of a lot tougher. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture... _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
