Hi Arden!
Yesterday I talked with Alexander on a project I am working on to create
{C,H,L,B}FS Live/Installation CDs and maybe DVD images. As I said it
takes a lot of time to work upon, cause it takes care of all the
dependencies (something like ALFS project} and I don't really know when
I put this project on fire to see it if works correcly, it should then
pass a lot of testing and then finally I have to talk again with the
original developer. As I said to Alexander I'll post on livecd mailing
list the work in progress, results of tests, etc...
Feel free to email me directly.
Bye,
Luca
