The root filesystem is *always* writeable thanks to aufs. > Next feature request: this is like loram-ram is no more useful because > loram-smallcdrom provides the same functionality + the ability to run > from the usb; perhaps it's time to merge with the third way of booting: > it should be possible to expand the squashfs.xz and obtains the same > functionality as RAM mode.

Why ? / is writeable and files under / look *exactly* like a filesystem uncompressed by then kernel unlzma. > BTW, why speak of loram as flavors ?. They are not flavors, but > variations about the way to use storage. Because pre 3.0 loram was flavors only (http://hg.slitaz.org/flavors/file/tip, squashed /usr + optional aufs). Now we have tazlitobox flavors too (squashed / + aufs). -pascal --- SliTaz GNU/Linux Mailing list - http://www.slitaz.org/
