Hi scott

          - Below
             [ "$PACKAGE" = "root" ]         && cat  $TMP_EXCLUDE > $EXCLUDE
            Add
             [ "$PACKAGE" = "$HD_DIR/root" ] && cat  $TMP_EXCLUDE > $EXCLUDE
   

Why do you need to make temporary files dependent on HD_DIR?
 

I expect that you don't, but at first I had multiple configs within a 
single 'setup' so this was a way of differentiating 'tween them. It's 
all working now so I left the clunkiness in, cuz if it ain't bust...

 That should be it. I agree, my use of $HD_DIR beneath /var/lib/lrpkg, etc, is probably unnecessary but it's where I ended up.
   

see above.
 

Yup, as I suspected this was unnecessary but I was presenting how I did 
it, warts & all.

 How to make it all easy to change between different configs: The only thing different, from a boot-up standpoint, is that I have various lrpkg.XXX files in my root folder, and copy them over the lrpkg.cfg file to tell LEAF where my current setup is. After a new setup boots up I have to change the HD_DIR var within /etc/profile, save the file (but don't backup yet), re-login (so the updated HD_DIR is now live) ... then I can go in and backup my LEAF packages.
   

Couldn't you pass a parameter to linuxrc through the bootloader, possibly using GRUB?
 

I'll leave that for others to answer as myself, I have no idea. Wish 
that I could even appreciate that yours was a /good/ idea - though 
thanks for piping in as others may be able to take advantage of your 
ingenuity.

Thanks for the feedback. If the powers that be are interested in this 
feature (i.e.to be included in future LEAF releases) then I would test 
your suggestions and do a clean-up before presenting something for them 
to include.
