Thierry, I don't know much about fuse.
Dl it : fuse-2.8.4
and of course of lacking battery on the mobo,
i am slightly behind everything :
# date +%Y-%m-%d
2001-12-19
checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!
Check your system clock

What do I need to mount -t unionfs-fuse ?

Uh, why don't you just use src2pkg with the '-UNION' option to isolate that install content -and create the package for you to boot?

Karl; If I understand, you are trying to install unionfs-fuse?
Depending on which Puppy you use ( if you use it...), just get the parent distro`s binary file.
I`m using a Puppy based on Ubuntu`s Precise, I got it`s unionfs-fuse and it works fine.
NOTE: You`ll also need "fusermount" to unmount the fuse union.


BUT... The purpose of my last post seems to have been over-looked.
#### I ditched the union idea for simply tracking the file system changes.
No union or chroot hassles, works on any Linux distro., much simpler.


amigo; Your suggestion sounds interesting.
So does "src2pkg -UNION" look into the install layer`s mount point?
I`m guessing by the option`s name.
So a union is needed for the option to work?
