Changes (by hamish):

  * keywords:  5.0, pgadmin3 => 5.0, pgadmin3, iso


Comment:

 5.0rc6 full ISO:

  * there is just one "user" in /etc/passwd and /etc/group

  * `ls -la` and 'ls -na' show a few files still owned by root (ahem), but
 nothing unusual about ~/.pgadmin3, it's owned by user.user aka 1000.1000.

  * I notice I can't move desktop icons to the trash, or into a newly
 created "Demos" directory. Same "Operation not permitted" error for files
 like password.txt, but also I get a '''Invalid cross-device link''' error
 message when I try to move/delete the directories.

  * `lsaatr -a` shows errors for all the files:

 {{{
 ...
 Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on ./.pgadmin3
 ...
 }}}

 also lsattr doesn't like symlinks, but I think that's normal behaviour.


 so are files in /home on another (virtual) partition on the ISO as /usr,
 but
 not `fslint`s compressed /usr??? it sounds like an error if the hardlink
 file is not on the same partition as its twin, but all seem to be on the
 same 'aufs' partition when I poke around. or maybe fslint has nothing to
 do with it at all.


 '''Invalid cross-device link''': I assume nothing physically in home is
 symlinked outside to the FS, only vice versa.

 '''Inappropriate ioctl for device''' I assume this is because /home (or
 files owned by 'user'?) are held in a RAM fs not a ext[2-4] fs as lsattr
 demands. (in fact there are no ext fs's on the booted ISO). Would have to
 do some research about `aufs` et al.

 I can create and rm a file in the home dir without problems, so the disc
 should be usable, just immutable. After `sudo su`ing to root, I can rm
 files without errors.
 /usr/ossim is installed as "user" (ahem), but I'm not permitted to remove
 files from there.

 probably we should actively pursue this bug, and probably the place to do
 that is the remastersys mailing lists.
