Re: [Announcement] GoboLinux 015 alpha

Thanks, but this is too late for me, already... I have already my own
„distro” named KISS-Linux, based on the LFS but it has a GoboLinux-alike
filesystem-hierarchy, but it no compatible fully with the Gobo. There are
available the howto about it:
http://parancssor.info/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=hogyan_keszithetsz_sajat_disztribuciot
(Of course, in hungarian language, sorry... The title of this document mean
in english: „How can You create your own Linux distributon?”.) My „distro”
are for x86-64 system.
