Are they? I read on the unionfs site that they are part of the -mm tree as of
Jan. 2007, but, you're probably right. OpenWRT does use unionfs per default
with a 2.6.24 kernel.

Not anymore, I was looking for a way to install extra pakages for SlugOS on
an external drive. I found in the docs that a copy of the complete rootfs can
be installed on an external drive using 'turnup' (NSLU2 specific tool). I'll
go that way.

Thanks,

Richard.
