Hi,
I'm trying to make use of your handy PowerPmac thumbdrive installation folder. It all works, including setting the IP address and copying over my usrflash files.
The part that doesn't work is that I need to create a file called /etc/rc.local.
I made a powerpmac.deb file that properly installs this file, but on reboot, the file gets overwritten with the default rc.local.
So, I instead set powerpmac.deb to install the file in /.readonly/etc/rc.local. This simply doesn't work, probably (I'm guessing) because /.readonly is, well, read-only.
How do I get around this?
Or do I have to install the file "by hand" after using the thumbdrive trick. That would be a shame to require an extra step for our users.
Thanks for any suggestions.
