Once it fetches it, it will offer you a shell prompt. OMFG. What is your problem? You're right, how could I have overlooked how completely obvious and convenient and sensible the current situation is. Clearly there's no need to change anything, ever. Look, if you'd just put a damned busybox or something on the CD, it would actually be *useful* for something that it is *not useful* for now, which is, *actually rescuing* when you don't have easy access to the full distro archive? If you would stop jousting with me to convince yourself that you're right, it might sink in that maybe, just maybe, I have a point here? Why do I bother. -- Jamie Zawinski jwz@xxxxxxx http://www.jwz.org/ jwz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.dnalounge.com/
