If anyone is really interested in remastering their own CDs it only
takes about 3 minutes of google to come up with all the documentation
and how-to's you could ever want. Believe me, if building your own
distro was all that difficult there wouldn't be four hundred gazillion
different distros out there. I can definitely understand Johnny's POV
on the subject. But hell, even _I_ could BMOD (Build My Own Distro) if
I weren't so damned lazy.
Hey. BMOD Linux. Kinda has a ring to it. If I ever get around to
acquiring a DVD burner of some kind I might take a stab at it. Or not.
I really am very lazy.
