[00:07] <xnox> bdmurray: hard - boot and use break=premount which i believe should be before casper is run.
[00:07] <xnox> bdmurray: then you should have the shell to change/apply your changes to casper scripts, then exit the shell and casper should be run, initramfs completes, and system boots.
[00:08] <bdmurray> xnox: okay so I could test the /var/crash change that way?
[00:08] <xnox> alternative to this is to, unpack .iso image, unpack initramfs, change casper, repack initramfs, repack iso, boot it.
[00:09] <xnox> bdmurray: yes, you should be able to test the varcrash change that way.
[00:09] <xnox> i guess with a virtual machine it's easier, as you can repack initramfs and supply direct kernel / initramfs boot, with the right (usual) live cd options (e.g. casper maybe-ubiquity)
[00:10] <bdmurray> xnox: okay, thanks
[19:35] <bdmurray> xnox: okay, I got something working and have uploaded casper. thanks for the help.
[20:28] <xnox> bdmurray: cool
