If the system were compromised then adding the disk support would be as easy as replacing the iso image. Using the iso image and comparing the md5 checksum at boot time would at least ensure that if the image was tampered with, the system would refuse to boot. IIRC Oxygen allows for md5 checksums in the packages, but presumably if these are on a writeable disk they would offer no advantage and Im not too sure how the mechanism is supposed to work. -- Paulo Rodrigues ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
