Which file is updated to contain this information? The information is not stored anywhere but implicitly, in the existance (or non-existance) of a <package>.lrp file on a particular mount-point in the package search path. On a different note, I worked out a test for read-only filesystems, and will add that to /linuxrc, so only writable filesystems will be used as possible backup destinations, and if a package is loaded from a read-only filesystem, it's backup location will default to the first writable package path, or the boot= device, if nothing is writable (the system could be booted with a flashdisk or floppy in write-only mode, making all filesystems RO). > Currently, I have a master tree of all LRP's on CD.
