Hi! I want to install debian on a computer, where only the /var partition would be writeable. Has anyone of you done it? Any advice?
The possible problems: Some programs want to have write access to /etc to work properly. Putting a link to /var/etc/file from /etc/file should work. /dev needs write access (how do I do that exactly? mount /dev from another partition?) A concrete example: /etc/nologin is written during boot time and erased after that. If I put a link to /var/etC/nologin from /etc/nologin, it won't work as /etc/nologin wont be erasable :-( And I didn't find a way to specify another file to login/nologin.... Thanks for you help!
