What do you think about making the linuxrc mount a unionfs with the ro part |
| 12 |
only and using /sbin/rc to add /memory after starting the /dev management? |
| 13 |
This will make the memory device available to be remounted ro during halt. Do |
| 14 |
you consider this to better the CD support? |

Ps.: I know that building a custom system demands the maintenance of some |
| 17 |
hacks. I don't expect gentoo's scripts to work unmodified, but I want to make |
| 18 |
the hacks as small as possible and contribute a little bit. |
