I was thinking...

If you make root.list contain specific files, and "move" the
specification of "./" to another package, that raises some interesting
things....  What if instead of gloming onto home.lrp, you create
overflow.lrp or default.lrp?

One nice benefit would be that if that package grows, one would KNOW
it.... and the root.lrp package in systems that still use it would not
grow without bound if something is messed up.

Oxygen already supports the use of config.lrp, which is a package
containing ALL files listed in *.conf files and saved in package
format - and this package is loaded *LAST* after all other packages.

This means that you can update the conf files and then save them to a
floppy which is used during a CDROM boot - in which case your
configuration is used and the system is configured just how you want
it.
