Therefore, by putting the content of "rescue" under "/rescue" in "root", and adjusting the linuxrc code to chroot into "mountpath/rescue" instead of "mountpath" for the rescue system, we could save overhead: -rwx------ 1 root root 74M 2007-11-16 22:54 img the combined "root"+"rescue" image is only 8MB larger, so with other words we save 15MB of space. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
