I consider steady files as steady , not temporary :sunburnt wrote:Karl; I suppose /mnt could be used for files, I think it`s for partitions, so Barry put them in initrd.
I like /tmp because it`s not unioned with the Save file which would require resolving the union.
Most Save files are on a partition, so are slow to resolve of course. And /tmp cleans itself up.
Anywhere else in the FS is covered by the Save file and the union. Only /tmp and /shm aren`t.
# I have a generic download script that reads a file with a url list ( repository packages ),
and can contain script commands to modify the pkg. and do any setup that`s needed.
It`s a simple idea, if used with Debian, Ubuntu, and Slackware repositories it has great potential.
Build scripts can assemble binary files, or source files and compile them ala amigo`s AppDirs.
If a std. Puppy base distro can be settled on, binary files are the easiest of course ( bloated ).

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 465#705465felt really helpless when I committed the mistake of mounting all drives in /tmp, forgetting to unmount them and shutting down the system.
I was wondering, why was puppy taking so much time to shut down Confused
Next boot discovered that none of the linuxes were bootable.
Had to buy a new CD to run puppy and discovered that all my linux partitions were empty.
From that day I never mount anything under /tmp.
And /mnt contains also the mounted - not loaded - loop files as .iso and .sfs ; not only partitions .
You should know that, since you are the initial author of /usr/sbin/filemnt !
