I have been scratching my head on where to put this file. /live/0F63AE66.87F makes things more difficult to remaster tools because there is not an easy way to determine which file is the identifier one. However we could use a new directory for sort of identifying the distro thanks to its filename. So you would have: /live/id/0F63AE66.87F . This is something that I think could work and I'm happy with. I only need to choose which variables to generate the seed from and I'm done. Taking a look at: scripts/build/config : LB_ARCHITECTURES LB_DISTRIBUTION LB_PARENT_DISTRIBUTION LB_LINUX_FLAVOURS LB_LINUX_PACKAGES LB_ISO_APPLICATION LB_ISO_PREPARER LB_ISO_PUBLISHER LB_ISO_VOLUME This seems quite arbitrary but it should be enough I think. I think next day I'm able to develop on this matter I will checkout a new branch for this. adrian15 -- Support free software. Donate to Super Grub Disk. Apoya el software libre.
