Hello Erich,
..
That doesn't really change the case and makes things even more inflexible. You need some code to uncompress and install the package manager. It doesn't matter if you use a compressed fs or a tar.gz (lrp) file. The problem is that you need code that loads the package from the right (mounted) filesystem and uncompress it. An other drawback of this approach is that you cannot backup the package manager with the standard tools.
..
Me too, but it are only a few lines of code to create a minimal system where init can take over. I see no difference in having a few redundant lines or doing basicly the same with other code. I think it's better to not rely on a different package to reach the part where init takes over.
I am just afraid that these few lines do a minimalistic approach (see the broken current code), whereas a fully blown package manager might do better.
So the sequence could be:
boot
install whatever is needed to run init
run init
let the package manager load the other packages

I get your point.
cheers Erich
