[ATrpms-users] MLDonkey RPM Question

[Doug Eubanks]

Yeah, I'm pretty careful about what I'm exporting.  I can understand why a
lot of people could use the chrooted environment as a safety precaution.  I
usually set aside a separate partition for MLDonkey so that I have exact
control over disk space usuage.  I also as a safety precaution like to
change the the paths using hardlinks.  I haven't found a way to map the
filesystem correctly when it's been chrooted.

I'm not complaining about the chroot, it's a good idea.  It just doesn't
work in my situation very well.

Sincerely,
