Been there, done that, got the t-shirt ;) This is why I'm trying to get my build server done for which I want to automate builds of LFS-SVN for these computers: 1-: my laptop. 2-: the linux vm at linode. 3-: the build server. 4-: samples images to be installed on usb keys or dvd as a current replacement for systemrescuecd. these images will be published on my linode and available for download.
