Then can't I just change the startGoboLinux script to mount all squashfs's in one go? mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/Mount/SquashFS/Foo=ro:/Mount/SquashFS/Bar=ro:... If I'm going to recompile the kernel, is the new unionfs patches included in the recipe so I can revert them and replace them with the unionfs patches from some old gobokernel tarball? -- /Jonatan - http://kymatica.com _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
