# E-scripts on running chrooted systems with a "float" partition
#    being shared by all of them
#
# Note 1: use the eev command (defined in eev.el) and the
# ee alias (in my .zshrc) to execute parts of this file.
# Executing this file as a whole makes no sense.
# An introduction to eev can be found here:
#
#   (find-eev-quick-intro)
#   http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eev-quick-intro.html
#
# Note 2: be VERY careful and make sure you understand what
# you're doing.
#
# Note 3: If you use a shell other than zsh things like |&
# and the for loops may not work.
#
# Note 4: I always run as root.
#
# Note 5: some parts are too old and don't work anymore. Some
# never worked.
#
# Note 6: the definitions for the find-xxxfile commands are on my
# .emacs.
#
# Note 7: if you see a strange command check my .zshrc -- it may
# be defined there as a function or an alias.
#
# Note 8: the sections without dates are always older than the
# sections with dates.

I have debian in two partitions here, / and /newdebian - to run things
cleanly on /newdebian do I just need the inittab trick,
"11:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/chroot /newdebian /sbin/getty 38400 tty11"?
Or should I also fake something like "/etc/init.d/rc 2"?

Other things:

/dev/gpmdata must be shared
/etc/resolv.conf must be copied (?) to the subpartitions
