In runtime the customers filesystem = is mounted on a fixed point (/opt). Off-course we have designed this = separation from the start, we have 2 separated filesystems. For the = second filesystem you can use just another ptxdist configfile. I don't = know whether you can merge 2 file system images together with ptxdist. = But for this purpose a simple script can automate this. Another approach can be to support a list of configfiles in stead of = only one. This will give you a single image file which was what you 'v = been asking for in the first place. Are there any plans to support a list of configfiles? Kind regards, Bart.
