[Fedora-livecd-list] [RFC/PATCH] livecd rebootless installer

[Elias Hunt]

Perfect, I'll keep a watch out for anything traveling down the pipe.

If you would like, feel free to pester me directly for assistance
testing (when you get that far), and I'll happily spin some test CDs
based on our setup using any new/patched code and provide feedback.

Yup Yup Yup :)  My 2001 project would scan for all partitions it could
blindly 
mount (mount -t auto), and use any that it found available with at least
2X the 
free space needed.

I'll take your use-case as added motivation to work on a proof of
concept 
implementation of that feature...  So much code to write... so little
time ;)
