Lonnie, Right now, genunion copies the file from /tmp/etc/rc.conf to /mnt/kd/rc.conf. On a clean system, this should contain everything that is in /stat/etc/rc.conf, however, I can see how this can be confusing. With one of the changes, someone modified /etc/rc to generate /tmp/etc/rc.conf using the gen-rc-conf script (which strips comments and places that warning at the top). > Dev's, possibly genunion should no longer automatically create /mnt/kd/ > rc.conf ? or copy /stat/etc/rc.conf to /mnt/kd/rc.conf instead of the > new stripped down /tmp/etc/rc.conf ? Yeah, perhaps we should roll back to copying /stat/etc/rc.conf instead of /tmp/etc/rc.conf. I believe whoever committed this though that the current used rc.conf would be the most correct one to store on the writable area.

Values from /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/*.conf overwrite anything in /mnt/kd/rc.conf or /stat/etc/rc.conf The correct file to edit is /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/*.conf or /mnt/kd/rc.conf. Afterwhich you can either reboot or issue 'gen-rc-conf' which would re-generate the file in /tmp/etc/rc.conf (/etc/rc.conf is a sym link to /tmp/etc/rc.conf) -- Darrick Hartman DJH Solutions, LLC http://www.djhsolutions.com http://www.djhsolutions.com/wiki ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list Astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
