Seems that there's always the potential of breaking the liveCD, when its kernel doesn't support the squashfs generated by catalyst. Would be effective if catalyst performs the assertion that kernel & squashfs versions agree. Even if the above is not favorable, I think catalyst should not depend on the hosting FS for generating an image. I assume a major design-goal of catalyst is to be as independent as possible from the hosting environment. Perhaps catalyst can use a chrooted version of squashfs-tools (like it does w/portage). That would give users a good intervention point for overriding the version of squashfs-tools they want (by setting it in stage1.spec, livecd/packages). Amit
