I am old, lol , still need a cd or dvd!!! :-)
Usb is better, i admit :-)
cp is better then a gzip, i admit :-)
Not to change the installer
still the same, but instead of a copy of little files, copy files is good
beos choice, but idea: make an image with dd to insert in the iso
it grows, i admit :-)
happy to read of you beatifull people of Haiku i have met at Begeistert!!!
best regards
mattia
