I like the idea of utilizing persistence but I want to think about a bit. Know that my original intent was to utilize partial.squashfs files with live-boot3x for sort of a service pack updates model where machines can be managed from a web interface. However, that does not mean that my usage has to be the only usage for the tool. Allow me some time to ponder the idea and model a bit. Also as to not hijack threads, perhaps start a new thread with new ideas then it will keep the world more logical to track in history :) Thanks. > Regards, > Kamil > > <snip>
