That sounds like "uninterruptable" boot to me, to be pedantic. Seems like plenty of overlap between what I was understanding as "uninterrupted" -- no user input / confusing configuration required -- and what I imagine cash registers/kiosk/demo booths would require to be "uniterruptable". On that basis I'd say: > >>>The question is, am I the only one who thinks this is > >>>interesting? No, it's plenty interesting. If it was unintentional that livecd-tools provided something close to this, please don't take it away. Further enhancing livecd-tools in such a way is very useful. Thanks, Martin
