What does a read-only root have to do with /etc/sysconfig? Further, /etc contains the per-host configuration information, so i don't see a good way to share a common /etc directory between multiple diskless hosts. (Boy, we should feel happy that we do have almost everything in /etc right now. The only exception is /var/cron/tabs, and that should be changed.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
