If I understood you well, this part is already enabled in the live-initramfs "live" script, under the name ".module", but it was just tested once by me when I wrote the code, and it worked. I did not tested after that, basically it would support adding read-only filesystems to the main one at boot time, indicating a list (the module) of which ones to include. Look at $(git grep -n module scripts/live) for hints. > In this manner we would be able to have a basic Live OS, that would take > different personalities according to the complements that are applied at > the moment of start, Yes, I meant to write also the build time support of that feature but I did not go beyond of proof of concept phase. -- ESC:wq _______________________________________________ debian-live-devel mailing list debian-live-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
