Hi Nio,

I used mktrbl to make the tarball of the entire drive.  I have looked
inside the tarball and everything looks fine.  The tarball is the basic
32bit 12.04 ToriOS... the live environment mimics this almost entirely
(still a few things I need to address).

OBI says it can find the tarball, but that it cannot write to the
device... I will test this in more depth... if you like you can test it
as well.

I made the tarball from your original ToriOS ISO in which your live
environment was using debian as the base... but it seems to me that you
simply dd the whole sda (or whatever) into a tarball with xz
compression.  This shouldn't be effected by what OS it is run from, as
it shouldn't remove any files, etc...

We should talk more about the entire OBI setup, I sent you another e-mail
