13 And /newroot? Lets clarify:
14
15 1) /mnt/livecd will be your zisofs image/whater
16 2) /mnt/cdrom will be the cdrom itself ?
17
18 So basically, the looback stuff just need to worry about /mnt/livecd,
19 and both for the non-critical unmount stuff?
20
21 Also, is /newroot now totally not used anymore? And why does /mnt/cdrom
22 need to be mounted - i thought / was in there? I guess a quick
23 explanation on all the types used (zisofs, etc) and what they mount for
24 what will be great ...

35 Hmm, not sure - that is why I asked for comments from others. I guess
36 the truth will still hold - the conf files tested for should not be
37 there if the user did not setup it ...
