[PATCH] Improving test for /etc/fstab.d support by testing for its existence instead of /run's one.

2013-02-02 Thread intrigeri
From: Tails developers E.g. when running Squeeze + initramfs-tools from sid, one has /run in the initramfs but no /etc/fstab.d, so testing for the (not necessarily correlated) presence of /run makes live-boot think it's running on Wheezy, and mistakenly try to use /etc/fstab.d. --- scripts/boot/
