Hi Stephen,
thanks for answering.
I'm trying to see if I can get a router using an embeded platform, alix
in this case.
Since the Alix platform is getting more powerfull and the 1GB compatch
flash is also
getting cheaper, I was think in createing a full Centos distro booting
in that platform.
Will read more about the overlay feature and see if it will do the job
for me.
But maybe I will go back to have an ext2 partition and don't write to
it. I like
the LiveCD option because of the fast (no fsck) boot feature
Regards,
Oliver
