Looks like several here are building DOC systems for production - which probably has no real connection to some specific distribution. Some ideas I've had (but haven't tried yet) to automate the 'gold disk' image build for Linux: 1. Install your favorite distribution on a host machine. 2. Create a partition for downloading the desired kernel to be shipped 3. Setup to ftp the kernel and X window and whatever-else you need into this partition (Where are the best URLs? linuxhq.com ? xfree86.org ? others ?) 4. Create a 'gold disk' image partition - on floppy, DOC or HDD 5. Build a boot image from the downloaded kernel using specific configuration file 6. Copy just the files needed for the 'gold disk' to the 'gold disk' partition (from a list of files created manually?) Now, go forth and multiply the 'gold disk' (i.e. M-Systems gang programmer or Floppy duplicator or HDD duplicator) Is this a reasonable approach ? Has this been done? Thanks, Ralph
