However, if the dpkg program is installed with the dpkg-restore script, wouldn't that mean you'd have to do a dpkg-restore before you could install any .deb packages while running from CD? I think there are some scripts out there that download the .deb and extract it with dpkg -x to /home/damnsmall or /opt, and these wouldn't work without a dpkg-restore first (or would they?).

One of the things Robert did was to make the dpkg restoration process restore not just the dpkk/ folder but all the dpkg* and apt* utilities. They are quite bulky, and we saved some space by doing it this way.

Whoo I had 0.6 yesterday morning but error with ISO so I downloaded again at 17:45 and it's the best !!! New kernel...WHEEHAA SUPA DUPA
