Perhaps you could create some unusual setups (perhaps in a full-VM), so we can build an test platform on it. IIRC the main problem are scenarios where /usr is not available at boot, eg. has to be mounted from somewhere else (eg. NFS). So, our test platform should have such setups. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
