Re: [Nolug] Customizable Bootable CD

Ron,

Would you happen to know how to rip/add support for certain things in
Morphix quickly? I have the Lightgui version downloading now but once I get
it I want to add flash support and I want to beable to edit whatever startup
scripts they have and strip down the programs I dont need.

I need printing support, network, firebird (flash), and that is pretty much
it. I want to start firebird with a local flash page.
