Mmm.... interesting. Is there any possibility that Debian update this
information in SysConf (plus obviously in the disk)? It could be
interesting to have an uptodate information (for recovering purposes:
installing SlugOS again)
It is easy to update it yourself. The data format is a 4-byte big-endian
integer which gives the length in bytes of what follows, then an array
of characters. Just create the data in that format, and write it to
/dev/mtdblock? where '?' is the correct partition [find it by inspection.]
If the length does not increase, then you can use '\n' as padding,
and thus avoid rewriting the length word.
