Well, part of it. The Live Filesystem CD contains many system binaries and all the distributions extracted. Concievably you could link (using the 'lndir' utility) the entire /usr/src/sys tree to the CD, thus you could compile your kernel from the CDROM. It's rather handy for grabbing files that got squashed or corrupted. Just mount it like any other CDROM: mount /cdrom or mount -t cdrom /dev/your_cd_device /cdrom Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
