For this moment, I mean in order to allow the upcoming stable release Etch to be released, the changes to the package were reverted only to avoid dosemu and u-m-l package related not to be broken. As mentioned in the following mail [*], it would be possible to provide a kernel side support for this sysvinit security need: the patch linked at the http://uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0609.2/1537.html can come in help. Would it be possible to manage this issue/need in order to introduce this patch in the kernel? What do you think it would be good to fix this issue? Thank you in advance SteX [*] > On Wed, Nov 08, 2006 at 01:57:36AM +0200, shaulka@012.net.il wrote: > Dear, > > I can't run rootstrap.
