(jftr) the only problem here remains that mountkernfs in sid does an automatic tmpfs on /tmp (unless /tmp is configured in fstab). since /tmp on a tmpfs for a live system has no merits in the first place, it's save to disable that. and that can be done with RAMTMP=no in /etc/default/rcS at build-time. that seems to be the most non-invasive solution to me. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
