Dear Stefan
Looking at the kernel code in init/main.c, it does look like HOME=/
TERM=linux is hard coded in the kernel with no way to override this
from the command line.
I guess you are wrong.
HOME and TERM env vars can be overriden with boot params.
Ok, then I was reading the kernel code wrong ;-)
Anyway, if HOME=/ is hardcoded in the kernel then what is the reason for
setting it in init command for the second time?
putenv((char *) "HOME=/");
I guessed it was some (old) compatibility stuff, reaching back to
kernels 0.99.x when HOME and TERM might not have been set by the kernel
already ;-)
Did you check if you can actually set this to something else?
Yes, I did.
Then I'll shut up now :-)
