Ok, thank you - I will try to get your firmware up and running it
without backup and look what I can do with a script (and will not
blame anybody if my data gets lost :-) Will need to learn more about
NFS before I do that, I guess.
OT: Re-Mastering Ubuntu is basically nothing more than switching to a
clean chroot Ubuntu environment, doing your changes (apt-get install
xxx etc., change /etc/skel etc. and then re-pack it into .ISO.
If you use Reconstructor then this is IMHO simpler than tweaking the Icy :-)
http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ --> makes a lot of fun, the
possibilities are unlimited, together with VMware and loooooots of HD
space, you can create the craziest Ubuntu derivatives.
