Actually, for some of us, squashfs would *usually* be a standalone - my biggest application for it is when I end up having to can-opener some wonky install medium that one of my users is having a problem with. And of course, I have to use some *other* kernel/system to do the can-opener trick with, because if the one on the medium worked, the user wouldn't be standing in my office :) Fortunately, that usually means I'm using a recent -mm kernel on my laptop, and the kernel/medium I'm trying to debug is almost always older, so I don't have to worry much about a too-new medium. Anybody comes in my office with something even more bleeding edge than what I have, I damn well expect them to be able to debug the issue themselves. ;) --==_Exmh_1231655763_4078P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFJaZNTcC3lWbTT17ARAq09AKCHuh2sh9/8iZPSlSvPL+3GXnsgTQCg+N3y 5kfkpcV53uHkCl/tL/BS+jI= =ghPN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1231655763_4078P-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
