Hi all, I'm creating a Knoppix-like FreeBSD release (live filesystem, runs from CD) with 4.9 sources. I'm almost done, but I don't know what to do with swap. I read somewhere that I must have a swap partition in my /etc/fstab, can't this requirement be overridden? And can I create a vn0 device now, and mount it as a filesystem of type union over / so all directories appear writable? If I do this, is there some way to save these written files (preferably into a single compressed file on a floppy or USB memory stick) and restore them on the next boot? Please help me, I'm really stuck here. Daniela
