Re: [DNG] Overlay filesystems and readonly partition mounts.

Dear All, I read the suggested shell script to provide an overlay filesystem in Raspbian and found nothing that can damage my setup. I will use that script. All file writes will directed to RAM. Edward -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein) If
