Right now, it just spits out a tar file for debrestore to deal with - containing one file with the package information, a directory for conffiles, and stuff. I'm sure that could be burnt along with the ISO, and then debrestore be automatically run ... Mmm, good ideas you have. :) -- Daniel Stone <dstone@trinity.unimelb.edu.au> Developer, Trinity College, University of Melbourne
