Hi again Israel,

You have OBI version 2.6 in ToriOS. I made a tarball with a slightly
tweaked version of the OBI, version 2.7

a38d332cdccdd92126ccd6d1c50c8c25  OBI-precise-mini.tar.xz

You find it at

http://phillw.net/isos/one-button-installer/tarballs/

It has two home directories, guru and myself, and works from any of
them. If I remember correctly, you did some tweaking of the OBI at least

1. made it work from other directories than the home directory

2. made some changes concerning /etc/fstab (my versions need such a file
in the systems to be made into working tarballs).

Maybe comparing the system in OBI-precise-mini.tar.xz with your version
will help you find the problem.

-o-

A note to the other Toriosadores: The version above of the OBI is made
to help Israel, and is not a convenient tool for general usage. You
should still use version 2.5, that you find in the following files at

http://phillw.net/isos/one-button-installer/

dd_images/dd_blank-obi_7.8GB_25_LubuntuTrusty.img.xz
dd_images/dd_blank-obi_7.8GB_25_LubuntuTrusty_nonpae.img.xz
tarballs/OBI_noswap_25_LubuntuTrusty.tar.xz

Best regards
Nio
