I know. But as I wrote "T he whole pb started here AFAIK: "Modules that are copied manually, should be saved. Modules that are loaded from squashfs aren't added to moddb.tgz to reduce it's size."" Not saving modules loaded from sqfs is accomplished by adding those to /var/lib/lrpkg/modules.sqfs So if we don't write them during boot to this file, all the changes might be unnecessesary, with pros and cons as outlined above, and some I may have missed. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
