You can see how it works from this script: http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=blob;f=appliance/supermin-split.sh.in;h=c710dc3b6476cbaf0f7aad6e9b5db261630b7186;hb=HEAD#l72 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#) http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
