Maybe you guys have enough clout to get a section on debian-live usage added to the debian wiki. That wiki now seems geared only to full installation. Would it be correct to infer from Ben Armstrong's response that the posting of usable live images is just incidental to the debian-live proje

[PATCH] Update example path in 'all_binary_debian-installer-banner.sh' example hook

2011-01-22 Thread Philip Newborough
