FW: [Mondo-devel] debian user wants mondo functionality

>>> By the way, no one spoke to the issue of creating a mondo iso

>How? (Or is this tongue-in-cheek)?  I tried it and mondo says it can't run
in ramdisk.

Ok... I found the answer by SEARCHING THE MAILING LIST ARCHIVES!  Who
would've thought...  :)  My answer was in a post dated two days ago...

I found that apparently: 
1. The feature was taken out so that people wouldn't use it to duplicate
Windows machines (which is strange, considering Norton Ghost and a host of
other products were made for this very thing), and
2. It is possible now to do this on Linux machines using a patch to mondo
1.74 from CVS

I must admit I don't use software from CVS repositories much, and I may be
looking in the wrong place, but a quick glance at the web CVS view doesn't
show a 1.74...  is this something that only the developers can get to?

Ok... haven't tried it yet but I will.

Thanks,
