Only on systems that require it. How about leaving stuff as it is, keeping a list of files in /etc that get written to in the docs and leave it up to the admin who builds a complex netbooted system, since those people aren't going to stick with the standard solution anyway. If d-i can someday install complex netbooted systems, we can think about this issue again. For the early rw issues: I doubt that too much stuff needs such a thing and I believe that said stuff can be patched to not use the FS at all until everything is mounted (MIT SHM springs to mind). Simon PS: IMO ifup/down should be stateless. -- GPG Fingerprint: 040E B5F7 84F1 4FBC CEAD ADC6 18A0 CC8D 5706 A4B4
