Re: [Thinstation-general] local config on live CD

[Jean L. D. <the...@gm...>]

Ok, it is clearer, thanks.
So i build initrd.gz and vmlinuz with ./build and with

STORAGE_CONFIG and STORAGE_PATH defined in thinstation.conf.buildtime

Then i follow this HOWTO

http://thinstation.sourceforge.net/CF-HOWTO.html

and i add my thinstation.conf.user on the CF.

?
