NLPOS (Novell Linux Point Of Sale) is of course still linux (SLES9). But it does very specific job and so it use very special way how to do the job done. First important things is that it server "read only" images. You build you small distro using special tool and you boot and use this "image". When you need update/upgrade/change you image. Administrator update "source image" and ask all users (POS terminals) just to restart their machine. All related work, like uploading new image, unpacking, checks are done automaticly. User will see only updated running system. And of course all local data are (could be) deleted So.... when you use our script change something on 100+ terminals and someone update image you modification are lost. This is The different approach i spoke about. Pavel P.S. For more information you can try kiwi which is oss software used for image building. It is used to build buildservice images BTW ;) > > Gael > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- Pavel Nemec Software Engineer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lihovarska 1060/12 tel:+420 284 028 981 190 00 Praha 9 fax:+420 296 542 374 Ceska republika http://www.suse.cz ---------------------------------------------------------------------
