Another temptation is to put some mods in /old-root/linux-lc. Albeit, this is the mode dangereous thing to do because it is the init script. It hangs, your iLiad hangs, and heavily. Not even the misterious auxiliar terminal will lauch. And it is dangereus becasue during old-root you can not mount the whole filesystem, so you lack of basic utilities. For instance, I failed to survive 2.4 because I did not notice the absence of "mv".

The third point to put a safety net is in the register.txt, not the one in etc, and hope do_updates.sh will mix both register files.
