Hi mithrandil,

as far as i know no.

To achieve this, fanthom would have to change linuxrc to export $DATAFROM variable to the running system while processing initrd.

thank you Quax, that's what i thought to do if there are no other ways ( some secret proc file or stuff like that ^_^ )

You are welcome.

Safest way would be adding the following line to linuxrc before switching root in initrd:

Code: Select all

echo "DATAFROM=$DATAFROM" > $UNION/var/log/datafrom
and then adding following line to rc.slax:

Code: Select all

export $(cat /var/log/datafrom)

that's probably because forum is moving all the time :)
my answer was:
"this info is already included in /mnt/live/var/log/livedbg
some other useful info is also there "
