To begin...
@reinob- ach!...you kiddin' me man?...s'all ok...really...gave me somethin' to do...also doin' scratch from scratch keeps one fresh..strong..like marathon running ...y'know...like taking small doses of snake venom or poison.....it doesn't kill you ...it's just a little exposure ... ....just in case.
For me I use jalapenos and hot food ...love it..gettin' used to the heat ...so it ain't so hot...cause I know I'm gonna be burnin' in hell after this life..all my friends'll be there for starters...may as well build up an immunity in this life first. Best guess is the torture for naughty maemoans in hell is... scratchbox that can never work...but ...ALMOST does...heheheehee...

Hum..y'know ...
spinning on the topic Hawox put up...
does anyone have Intrepid Desktop?
I don't have that one...thought I did...but don't..
That would be a major help....it was primed and ready for diablo and fremantle...I know it was pulled due to some issue...unfortunately I don't have it.
I'd like to study how the integration of both diablo and fremantle was done ....
I'm looking at the way original Knoppix distro release ...with the way old setup worked...
And I know...I just know... it can be done...crap ..it has been done.
I just want to do it the most pain-free and least time consuming method....
back then ...I'm sure they had divisions of people working on it...
equating to gawd-knows-how-many-man-hours ...
whereas I don't have that luxury.
I'm gettin' the feelin' that working a distro with the environment "built" in/on the distro directly ...not inside a virtual machine ..is the way to do it...to make it distributable ...
But packing up a large box and making it fit inside another box and then shrinking it down (which is what the process did) to a 3.1 gb live iso ...the moment it was done cooking...I knew it was gonna be poodle-in-the-microwave messy.
The microwave (Lubuntu-live) ran...ran fine...but the poodle (scratch in virtualbox) was alllll over the inside of the microwave.
So...for now...it's looking like the live-distro-iso/usb-distributable appliances are good...real good..but their purposes are realistically limited...running environments within environments is a complexity which needs a more refined touch to get running in a live distributable distro.

@biketool- aw thanks man...'preciate it.

@Android808 - I am always fascinated with alternate methods to achieve the same result...or better...I've been reading more about LXC ...
once I get the serious time...'prolly this coming winter...(seasonally work-wise busy-time is almost upon me and what I am doing in my free time maemo-wise will consume my days until November-ish)...I'll sit down and experiment with it then...unless my curiosity drives me crazy first and I can't help myself...that is...once I latch my teeth onto something I just want to chew...
