Your quandary confuses me.
If the storage space needed by 4.2 beta exceeds what you can put in the
root then it would also exceed what you can put in a subdir.
Are you instead hitting the limit of
max_number_files_in_root_of_FAT_filesystem? (Maybe ~512 files)?
In that case then moving some files to a subdir would help (but I would
be surprised about anyone hitting this limit).
I don't unfortunately know offhand how to choose a subdir for LRP files
tho, having never so need or really wanted.
When I peek at the 'init' script in the initrd.lrp file (which does the
pkg loading), and see stuff like:
> echo "$dev $t" >>$PFX/pkgpath.disks
the language used (.disks, $dev) makes me think that $PKGPATH is a list
of *drives*.
However maybe you can specify, in the leaf.cfg file, that some or all
packages are listed as:
subdir/package.lrp
instead of just
package.lrp
... and this could possibly work?
(However if you have actually run out of drive *space* you could make a
bootable 'parted magic' CD and use that to resize your partitions.
Backup first tho, if at all possible!)
Good luck!

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
