It should keep track of that in a cache. Is the cache being recalculated

You can't call rc-update from within there, catalyst plays around the
system _after_ fsscript :/<br>

Didn't know having X on the liveCD disabled cache...And yes, there is

<pre wrap="">Sure, could just unionfs it on top of /etc and /home if it exists.
That'd be neat and generally useful if you integrated support into

Would I bother for a few MBs? (ok...so my /etc does 32MBs ;)<br>
