Maybe it is already there and I just managed to miss it this far; if so, I apologize. Here is my thought, anyway: Wouldn't it be neat to have modules containing data and/or executables that can be added to or removed from the system at runtime?
I tried the following from the 0.8 live CD with a HD mounted on /mnt/hda1:
[...]
This creates a squashed filesystem image that can be added to /UNIONFS:
root@grml:/root# mkdir -p /mnt/hda1/tmp/mnt/mtx root@grml:/root# mount -o loop -t squashfs /mnt/hda1/tmp/mtx.squashfs /mnt/hda1/tmp/mnt/mtx root@grml:/root# unionctl /UNIONFS --add --after /ramdisk --mode ro /mnt/hda1/tmp/mnt/mtx
After that, mtx is available for use, just as if it was part of the real live CD.
Yes, excellent. :)
Would something like that be useful for grml? Useful enough to create an official set of scripts to create, add and remove such modules?
Yes - something like that is definitely on our todo- and wishlist.
