Yes, of course, with a big usb key squashfs would not be so necessary, but I'm not sure about the 'dynamic' syncing. I'm assuming it's running in unionfs, and it's maybe not so easy to shuffle the contents of the layers around (it might be possible somehow, but I believe you can't just move the contents of the writeable layer to one of the other layers). _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
