Understand: my point was that relying on "autoconfig" appearing first |
| 7 |
alphabetically doesn't seem too robust (as proven by the fact it didn't |
| 8 |
DTRT anymore when I added "apache", which comes first :-)). |

OK, that's a good idea. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I added "autoconfig:boot" to the livecd/rcadd section to start it in the |
| 16 |
boot sequence instead of the default sequence. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
That seemed to work but your way looks like it might be more clean. |

It's very cool, it's just not fully featured yet. It seems like they |
| 30 |
got it working but then stopped and didn't add any usability or |
| 31 |
developer capabilities :-(. And even the ones that are there are not |
| 32 |
documented. Oh well. |
| 33 |

I feel like I've just about finished the part of this that deals heavily |
| 36 |
with Catalyst and got it all working: the remaining bits are getting all |
| 37 |
my extra packages working properly. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Random question: has anyone thought about or looked at using unionfs or |
| 40 |
mini_fo or one of the other "translucent" or "fan-out" or whatever you |
| 41 |
want to call them, filesystems? I mean, for allowing a writable |
| 42 |
configuration for a livecd without needing to strew symlinks etc. around |
| 43 |
the base filesystem? |
| 44 |
|

Cheers! |
