However, the user has decided they need to be able to change that address at will and remember those changes for next boot, so I don't think I can use live debian for this application. He wants parts of the filesystem to be changeable, like for example, /etc. So I don't think this will cut it.have you read about persistency in the manual?
Thanks for the tip Daniel. I looked at: http://live.debian.net/manual/html/persistence.html but I couldn't connect the dots..I seem to need a bit more detail. Also looked at: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/Custom_InstallNot quite there on how to get all the pieces together yet. It's not clear to me how the grub stuff off the host system can work on the flash, they're completely different.
We're loading it onto a flash card and trying to make it configurable (/etc/network/interfaces, mostly)
I can get it to boot off the compact flash no problem, it's trying to get /etc into it's own writeable partition that has been problematic/impossible so far. We're trying to isolate anything that writes to the CF to help wear leveling/longevity.
thanks, Jonathan
