Squashfs and Debian Lenny

[alk3 at exitstatusone.com (Alk3)]

Hello.

First off, hello to all.  I am one of the developers for Slast Linux. 
(http://slast.org/)  We recently moved to using live-helper because we 
build Asterisk from source on every live cd.  Live-helper provides us 
with ease of use.  We are very thankful for the work of all the 
developers on this project.  Now on to my question.

We are currently building our discs in Debian Etch.  But it is probable 
that we will move to Debian Lenny in the future.  How do we go about 
resolving this issue with squashfs?

The workaround is confusing. Could someone please explain?

If it is easier to use Sid, we may just make the jump.
