installing lenny

[lee hartley]

first, thanks for the help!
I tried the steps mentioned, I get the "can't open /scripts/live"
error...i have the live-initramfs installed in the live/filesystem.dir
and made sure the aufs was in the modules file...any other
suggestions? I do not see live-initramfs listed in the NFSROOT file,
but it seems to get in there, so I assume that is not the issue...any
pointers would be great...

thanks a lot
lee
