But why do you actually need that? The install_root is where the file
system image gets mounted and so if you already have things in a
directory, that's not going to help.
I do not already have things in a directory (well actually, I do, but I
don't care about them being trashed), I have an object pointing to a
directory and I cannot change that without destroying and recreating the
object.
The patch is doing what I need, and afaics is not disruptive to
livecd-creator's way of doing things, right?
Kind regards,
