Hello First, excuse my poor English (I'm French...)
Well, I'm making a bootable USB key for Maths students since 3 years, you can find it here: http://clefagreg.dnsalias.org/ At the beginning, I was using cloop and a rather complicated systems of links like Knoppix. Now I'm using unionfs + squashfs: The root of the system is a RO file system union some various extensions (RO squashfs systems) union a RW ramdisk. Everything work very well. But I have a new problem. I need to run wine for a key dedidaced to a competitive entrance exam (Education Nationale teachers). And I have a problem with kernel Oops in unionfs and wine, Kernels used: 2.6.29-1, unionfs 2.5.1 (for 2.6.29-rc2) squashfs: version 4.0 (2009/01/31) here is the error: Jun 30 18:00:25 agreg kernel:
