this file contains a few pointers which make lessdisks more enjoyable to have
around. (also see the "More Tips and Tricks" section in the "installation"
doc)
trimming the initrd:
this makes the initrd not include a lot of extra modules (such as hard-drive)
which are not needed for lessdisks during boot. this will save you a little
space, and have faster boot times.
in /var/lib/lessdisks/etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf:
MODULES=""
remove network card modules you don't need from
/var/lib/lessdisks/etc/lessdisks/mkinitrd/initrd-netboot.conf:
nic_modules="3c59x eepro100 tulip"
be sure to only remove ones you know you don't need, though!
you can also try changing MODULES=all to MODULES=dep in
/etc/mkinitrd/mkinitd.conf, this will remove all the disk drivers from the
initrd.
and then:
lessdisks-chroot dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-X.X.X-XXX
to find out the kernel-packages name:
COLUMNS=140 lessdisks-chroot dpkg -l kernel-image* | egrep ^ii
running custom scripts:
if you need to configure a particular terminal to do a particular thing...
set "$session" in /etc/lessdisks/$hostname, it will look for that script and
execute it the following search order:
/etc/lessdisks/sessions.d/$session
$PATH (i.e. /usr/sbin/$session, /usr/bin/$session)
$session (i.e. the full path: /usr/local/sbin/my_custom_script or /etc/lessdisks/terminals/terminal.script)
