This doesn't change my point, which is that any hacking on this (such as AppleScripts to make it quick-n-easy to make a floppy from the floppy image on the CD, or wahtever you guys were doing) would be done in the context of debian-cd, rather than boot-floppies, if I'm not mistaken. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onshored.com/>
