Fred, Actually you can get by without creating a key disk. You'll have to manually move some files, but if you're starting out now, you might as well try this. /dev/sdd1 will be your runnix partition for images. Images are stored there in the 'os' directory. The image files get mounted as a loop device and either copied to a ram disk, or left in as loop back. /dev/sdd2 could be unionfs (ext2 format). This will be your writable area. After you have booted with this partition as your asturw partition (per the documentation on the www.astlinux.org website), you will need to manually copy the files from /stat/ to the appropriate place (I'm going to modify genunion to do this for you, but haven't done it yet). Look at the genkd script to see what files are copied from where. > Of can I mix the last two, and just keep two partitions? > > BTW, the trunk fails compiling vim, so have to use Nano. vim is an optional package. Busybox includes a version of vi that works just fine. You'll find that many of the standard binaries are available through busybox (which is why several are not selected by default). -- Darrick Hartman DJH Solutions, LLC http://www.djhsolutions.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
