About a year ago a lot of people didn't want /rescue because of a lack of space in some of the older root slices. This would free up a little bit of room from a lot of programs that are likely duplicated in /rescue. Getting rid of /stand might make a little difference. > - I'm not sure that /rescue/tar can work without a tmp dir I'll look into that. > and this is really needed for initdiskless oper (/stand/cpio). >From looking at the initdiskless script, is there any reason we couldn't add cpio to /rescue and use it from there? From what I saw the only references to /stand were /stand/cpio and /stand/gzip, and gzip is already in /rescue. > - can sysinstall unlink his own binary before restart? Couldn't we restart the post-install from /usr/sbin/sysinstall? I'm not too familiar with the installation code. -- Ryan Sommers ryans_at_gamersimpact.comReceived on Wed Oct 06 2004 - 19:46:21 UTC
