i think if you look closely at the XO you'll see that this is essentially already done, but the mechanism is slightly different than it might have been in the past. compare the output of "df" with "df /var/log", for instance, and look in /etc/rwtab. if you follow this through in rc.sysinit, you'll find that everything mentioned in /etc/rwtab is mounted on tmpfs. paul =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
