I already had this working at one time, so some one else broke it. Jeff Bailey and I worked on it for quite awhile. So what happened? People break things without knowing, or just don't care to test changes? How about just adding "rw" to the appended options? Also, isofs.b doesn't need to be on the CD (as I've said before). And finally, I am getting sick of your attitude towards ports and developers. It's the main reason I wont work on the debian-installer. I'm pulling the cd image now, and I will try the fix. If that works, I'll tell you and you can make the change in your debian-installer repo. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/ ----- End forwarded message ----- -- see shy jo
