Now I understand... Jeez all those hours wasted looking at this from all
angles...
Jeremy you got anything else you must tell us? =:-D
Heh, that was what was on the top of my head. Just was traveling all
week (my first batch of mail was the first time I was in the airport,
this was from my flight back :-)
The language stuff I just nuke in my comps.xml, my live CD must be
French and English period.
That doesn't ensure that the mo files from /usr/share/locale aren't
installed
What about ssh keygen? How does one get around that? I am thinking
along
the lines of someone wanting to ssh from work into a VDR based PVR, his
mom has to reboot the computer and it takes ages to generate keys...
I think you actually really do want to generate the keys everytime.
Otherwise, it's confusing when you move a live cd from one machine to
another. Possibly having a way to keep various state items (including
this) on something like a USB key or a partition makes sense, but you
almost certainly don't want it on the CD.
