HI all;

maybe we can make a step backwards in this discussion and can think about my
proposal to reduce the pain:

"The whole pb started here AFAIK:
"Modules that are copied manually, should be saved. Modules that are
loaded from squashfs aren't added to moddb.tgz to reduce it's size."

We never saved to modules.tgz



Now we can argue that a user who has enough space for leaving modules.sqfs on
his boot media, will have enough left for a bigger moddb.lrp than necessary
(except those booting from iso image, who can't remove modules.sqfs).

On ISO there is no chance and no need to do anything anyway.


There is a case to remove modules.sqfs even beyond space, to speed up boot
time, so autodetection stops immediately due to "missing modules.sqfs".

Right, and here is where moddb has to be popuplated.


So if we go back and never write anything to /var/lib/lrpkg/sqfs.modules we
can get rid of the changes to update moddb properly, addinga config option to
leaf.cfg  etc...

Or just leave sqfs.modules away completely. If modules.sqfs is available, use it, else just forget aubout it....

cheers
