Sorry if htis is a non sequitur I haven't been following this thread... Sounds like you're looking for a copy on write filesystem, unionfs under linux can do this sort of thing. I've used it as with nfsroot filesystems where there's a common readonly root with individual writable overlays for each booted system fo /dev, /tmp, /var etc... It's a direction to look in. -Jon -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
