Phone: +44 181 951 1891 The whole file system layout is not effective. Each package should have it's own tree. Configuration modifications should be done using unionfs. This allows you to store installed packages on write-protected media and union over them for any changes. The same goes for the entire base system. -- Prof. Julian Assange |If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people |together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks proff@iq.org |and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless proff@gnu.ai.mit.edu |immensity of the sea. -- Antoine de Saint Exupery
