I think it's definitely on-topic for either list, given the descriptions of both lists. I would tend to favor the "traditional" SurvPC list, simply because that's still the best known and traffic seems to stick more to the "stuff to do with minimal resources", whereas LifeRaft does have a lot of discussion that I personally enjoy, but might be considered "noise" by some. That's purely my take on it. As I said, BasicLinux is "on topic" for either in my opinion. The only thing I would suggest is that the nature of the list (DOS Internet and low-resource hardware solutions) be emphasized on your subscription page so that users don't come in expecting Linux- or BasicLinux-only discussions. DOS, Linux, BSD, QNX and a host of other alternatives can all be viable on low-resource systems, and we need to make sure folks feel welcome discussing them all. I find minimal distributions fascinating (just did a presentation to one of our local Linux User's Group meetings on system recovery using LNX-BBC and Linuxcare's Bootable CD Toolbox last night), and I hope to get around to trying them all eventually. Let me kick off some of this by asking a question: I am looking for the "perfect" Linux recovery diskette, or at least one that can do the following things that I need: 1. Mount NTFS filesystems (readonly or readwrite). 2. Mount remote SMBFS (Windows) shares via mount. 3. Mount NFS shares. (Nice to have for completeness) 4. SSH client. This combination is based on my experiences helping a buddy recover a crashed XP system recently. :) Would BasicLinux be able to do that combination with appropriate configuration? I've yet to find it in anything I've tried so far. - Bob To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
