It would be fairly rare for the bin's from iso-2 (the bootable live filesystem) from a release not to work on the corresponding -stable. 2. However you should certainly be booting from the cd, for reasons already noted. 3. make release will enable you to create the equivalent of iso-2 for your -stable, if you really insist. 4. You should investigate The Coroner's Toolkit, available (free) from porcupine.org to really do forensics work. It comes from Dan Farmer & Wiese Venema, who need no endorsement from me. I've used it (on Solaris) with very gratifying results. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net.
