[izpack-users] os.arch

[Marc Eppelmann]

Hi Jo,

Currently IzPack uses a combination of

System.getProperty( "os.name" ) and /etc/*-release "parsing" to detect the OS.

If you want to contribute us, you can send us the content of 
the /etc/*-release - Files plus the assigned OSName etc... , so that we can 
complete the detection routine.

Thanks 
Marc
