Hi, guys! What you think about writable /etc /mnt and /root dirs at the installation disk? I think that in this case inst. disk will be more comfortable. There are few ways how to do this: 1. To use initrd. Slow and not necessary variant. 2. To use fake init like this: # mv /sbin/init /sbin/real_init # cat > /etc/init <<EOF

#!/bin/bash # # /sbin/init: fake init #

/bin/mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp /bin/cp -r /etc /tmp/etc /bin/mount -t tmpfs none /etc /bin/mv /tmp/etc/* /etc/ /bin/rmdir /tmp/etc /bin/mount -t tmpfs none /mnt /bin/mount -t tmpfs none /root

exec /sbin/real_init "$@"

EOF # chmod +x /sbin/init

This variant also not very good. It isn't clean. 3. To use /etc/rc. Good variant. But in this case you must be more careful. -- Artur Tulyulya
