Just catching up with Emails and reading Linux Magazine when I saw your thoughts re Multiple Distro's The cover DVD for this month is ...............is Best of Small Distros http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/76/Linux_Magazine_DVD.pdf This CD is compressed as a set of SquashFS images. To access its contents: * You may add SquashFS support to your existing system (GoboLinux kernel has this support by default) and then mount the desired image: $ mount -o loop -t squashfs /Mount/CD-ROM/Packages-List-Base.squashfs /Mount/SquashFS * Alternatively, you may boot from the CD For more information about SquashFS, see http://squashfs.sf.net Hope this info helps.
