This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig9A2C9143FF082749D11E7EBA Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Judging by Google's results I'm only one of many people frustrated by the lack of mount(8) in the "emergency holographic shell". My problem is that I have everything I need to install the system (on a "netbook" laptop - no CD reader) on the USB drive I booted from, but no way to get to the data (the network drivers need to be patched before they can be used so net install is out, sysinstall doesn't recognize the directory structure, has no way of mounting msdosfs, etc.). I see the mount executable is ~~ 17 kB: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 17232 Dec 29 15:29 /sbin/mount* This is about the third time I needed it in similar circumstances so is probably not unreasonable to request it be crunched in for the future? It's certainly one of the basic emergency utilities. --------------enig9A2C9143FF082749D11E7EBA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmM7xYACgkQldnAQVacBcg+ygCfUTpi/2667wTK1TXrEuyy3mEo 84kAoOBk3E2b7woagvRMeVJtUg6NCzEY =gk+A -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig9A2C9143FF082749D11E7EBA--
