It is, isn't it? But I'd want to keep it reasonably small, as I guess |
| 6 |
I'd be rebuilding the squashfs pretty much whenever I updated any package |
| 7 |
that it contained binaries from. |

Actually, I guess if I did squashfs, I could even mount it directly, |
| 10 |
avoiding the initr* entirely, tho in effect it'd be close. I could have |
| 11 |
the kernel call a shell script as init, then have it exec the real init |
| 12 |
(and thus openrc) after it did some initial setup and mounts, thus |
| 13 |
allowing the real init to inherit the same PID 1 it normally gets. (Some |
| 14 |
of that idea is triggered by Maxim K's post. Thanks to both of you.) |
| 15 |

Alternatively, I could reconfigure inittab to start my script first, then |
| 17 |
start openrc (consolidating the openrc sysinit, etc, entries). But that |
| 18 |
actually sounds more complex than simply running an initial script as |
| 19 |
init, and having it exec init. |
