I looked at excluding read-only media from the backdisk file, created when the system boots, but the new busybox mount command is now too friendly...it no longer fails when you mount a CD-Rom RW, so I didn't have an easy way of flagging the path as read-only. > You have provided *.bkup files to preserve desired backup types. > > Is there someway to hardcode /var/lib/lrpkg/backdisk? There are many possibilities...the existing Dachstin CD procedures are based mainly on what I urgently need, as I dislike the entire packaging scheme and plan to come up with something entirely new for future releases. > I tried placing that configuration that I wanted in root.lrp; but, alas! > it was overwritten at bootup ;< Yes, the bootdisk file is re-created every time you boot by linuxrc. I settled on the non-ideal solution of setting the default backup path to the last found package location because it only required you to edit the backup location once, when first creating a local backup of a package on CD. Once this is done, your preferred backup type is saved along with the package, and the backup location will be correct by default the next time you boot. I considered setting the default backup location to whatever boot= is set to, but this would not work properly if you have more than one writable media you are using to backup packages...
