2.16 Final can not remove icons on desktop * SOLVED *
First post.
2.16 is fantastic. BUT
I was having the same icon problem booting from a multisession cd. HOWEVER
I now boot from an SD card stuck in a usb adapter. The icons stay the way I position them, and the deleted icons don't come back. I have no idea why, but it works.
Hope this helps someone.

Ah ha! This is the problem:
PREVUNIONRECORD='2007-05-19-21-02 pup_216.sfs '
LASTUNIONRECORD='2007-05-20-07-21 pup_216.sfs '
....you are running a multisession CD/DVD!
Under normal circumstances, those two variables should be identical, but it falls down for the multisession CD as the last-loaded folder is different each time. The two variables are only supposed to be different when the SFS layers have changed.
Okay, I'll post a fixed rc.update here soon.

Okay, try this.
Download and gunzip it:
# gunzip rc.update.gz
then copy it to /etc/rc.d/rc.update
then delete an icon on desktop, reboot.

No, surely not!
Okay, try this one. Gunzip and copy it to /etc/rc.d, then delete an icon and reboot. This one writes some information to /tmp/test.log -- could you please post the contents of that file.

LASTUNIONRECORD=2007-05-21-10-52 pup_216.sfs PREVUNIONRECORD=2007-05-21-08-10 pup_216.sfs
xLASTUNIONRECORD=pup_216.sfs xPREVUNIONRECORD=pup_216.sfs
NEWPVERSION=216 OLDPVERSION=216
This has worked with no extra icons appearing that had been deleted previously.
Thanks for your assistance Barry
