This would be SWEET and I could see a PERFECT use for something like this. PXE boot a base 30MB Live image then as needed, download and add the different Live Systems you need/want to be mounted. This would save on network bandwidth as well as give some flexibility to clients with OLDER hardware which have problems running a FULL say, KDE or GNOME environment along with OpenOffice and other utilities.
It may take time but I am sure the Live team will see some quite a few uses for this type of scenario. -Stephen AKA Screwba -----Original Message----- From: Hans Ekbrand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hans Ekbrand Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 7:24 AM To: debian-live@lists.debian.org Subject: "BOOT FAILED!" with a live-rw partition (ext2 and ext3 tested) I get Remounting /dev/sdb2 ro on /cow failed and a prompt (initramfs) when trying to boot with "persistent" and a partition named "live-rw". cat /live.log gives mount: mounting /dev/sdb2 on /cow failed: Device or resource busy the list of mounts includes / /sys /proc /dev /live/image /filesystem.squashfs /cow /root (aufs) /root/live (tmpfs) So it seems some script is trying to mount /cow twice. Just exiting the shell with Ctrl-d (twice) works, and then the boot goes well. This is a bit annoying of course. Kind regards, -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Q.
