Hi there, I need $SUBJECT for the following situation: Skype should be used as a from-time-to-time conversation vehicle, but as I'm paranoid, I'm not going to install the binary-only blob onto my real system. Instead I'm trying to build an appliance which boots off a USB stick and which will _not_ find (and potentially auto-mount) any existing partitions/filesystems on the real (hard) disk(s). I've tried to use "brokenmodules=libata" (incl. any combination of additional "sd_mod" and/or "scsi_mod"), but failed as the system won't boot anymore. I thought this should be doable with some kernel parameters at GRUB time, but I haven't been able to do so (yet). Does anybody know how this can be done? TIA, cheers. l8er manfred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
