Persistent Slax

while I believe you can layer read/write and read-only branches in a great many ways (man aufs, /mnt/live/linuxrc and /mnt/live/liblinuxlive for aufs syntax), let me offer another approach (maybe solution) to the problem

make a module for your customizations with symlinks to the relevant place where changes can be saved … this may need be a linux filesystem … ie /root/.kde/share/apps/amarok is a symlink to your /mnt/sda1/amarok directory … from there linux permissions can be applied …

another approach may be to modify the offending modules to save someplace other than /home

somewhere on the net I've seen a quote something like this … "Those who don't know linux are forever doomed to reinvent it" … I have tried to not fall in this pitfall of spinning my wheels needlessly …

plus, I always like the easy answer … I just might be the laziest person ALIVE

Aufs currently doesn't support multiple writable branches, thus you can't save changes to more then one place.

Junjiro is working on multiple rw branch support, so we can expect the feature sometime sooner or later.
