I have followed README instructions, including compile unionfs againts current kernel (kernel-2.6.9-42.livecd.c4) and able to modprobe unionfs mannually. The instructions seems different from the original linux-live script README: 1. it compile squashfs int kernel, while LL-script expect to find squashfs.ko (however from the boot msg, it seems able to load squashfs, no error) 2. it ask for different kernel version (ie `uname -r`_i686) 3. modify the existing linux isntallation (or do i ned to chroot before running build-livecd.sh -sl ?) Many thanks. --beast
