I think it won't help much - an ISO image built that way e.g won't boot on my test machine (an old IBM PC 330). As Eric Spakman said it's (nearly) impossible to please everyone. That's one reason, why we documented two different approaches to build an ISO image and provide almost everything to build LEAF Bering-uClibc from cvs. (USB and the ISO image you proposed are nit part of the cvs). The images we provide are for everyone's convenience - but our main work is to improve LEAF Bering-uClibc and the related packages and everyone can find the results in cvs - packages and sources incl. a way to compile everything from scratch. Of course, patches to make two ISO images are welcome - or if you like to provide one based on isolinux without emulation mode, I can give you FRS write access as Jorn has it, who voluntered to build images for USB sticks. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
