Generally I like this. I've been wanting to get rid of that dependency on /stand for awhile as you know. This patch would need either my patch to move gzip into /bin or something similar. Another patch I have locally is to replace GNU gzip with the BSD licensed copy. Moving this to the root is somewhat more of a challenge though because it requires the addition of a few libraries for the binary. Just a few comments within.

Why would a diskless system need a /rescue anyway? Rescue is for repairing a borked root filesystem. This is completely unnecessary on diskless. With that in mind I'd like to see the next generation of the diskless-root-building script not include /rescue in the diskless root. -- Ryan Sommers ryans_at_gamersimpact.comReceived on Thu Nov 11 2004 - 18:41:27 UTC
