[Thinstation-developer] Permanent Storage

[Miles R. <mr...@we...>]

Hi All,

Heres what I'm thinking for the storage of user defined configs

/etc/thinstation.conf is the default thinstation.conf, which comes from the
initial build, it is symlinked to /tmp/etc/thinstation.conf as it needs to
be writable.

thinstation.conf.user is in stored in /root (symlinked to /tmp/profile - see
note below about this).  This file only stores the modified settings from
replimenu.  Upon bootup, this file is appended to /etc/thinstation.conf.
This means the thinstation.conf.user will override settings from
thinstation.conf

The issue that Lars brought up about writing to the permanent storage device
every 5 minutes. This is needed for things like dillo bookmarks, ICA Manager
settings.  Mounting /root directly to the permanent storage device would fix
this.  ie /root is symlinked to /mnt/floppy/folder So, we could bypass
copying the files every 5 minutes.  Anyone see any problems with this?

Cheers

Miles
