Re: [Devil-linux-develop] everything on CD

[Manu E. <emm...@wa...>]

Hi Heiko,

long time i didn't build a new distro but all changes made looks very 
cool ... 1.0 seems very near :-)

maybe it could be cool to choose which version (CD or Ram) to run from 
the software file in /etc/sysconfig, in which you say NO for not 
unpacking a package, YES for unpacking everything to RAM and CD for 
unpacking only necessary files to Ram, using binaries from CD. In that 
way one could have a very fine tuning way to configure DL.

maybe it's completly Dumb as it require a complex way to choose which 
files to unpack to ram and which ones to use from CD ???
