Thank you for link to usefull script, I've added type of debian and
nonfree selection:

Thanks for the patches. I reworked the ideas here a bit and made two commits at:

http://live.debian.net/gitweb/?p=live-tools.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/debian-next

Thank you, I'm going to write script which makes personalized images.

Perhaps this:

http://install.live-systems.org/scripts/partial-squashfs-updates

will be of assistance to you. It is what I am using to make partials and then to stack them together after so many partials.

Again thanks for the patches and if the partial-squashfs-updates script is useful let me and the mail-list know.

Thanks.
