People "who want to try something different" in distros, without irrevocably switching over, normally have a separate partition. This is beginning to look like the simplest, least error-prone approach, even if it is heavy-ganded. Out of sheer curiosity... is "bb-init" based on busybox? If so, a separate partition would also prevent standard utilities from stomping all over their busybox symlink equivalants. Add another entry to the grub/lilo menu, and boot from that. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
