-
-<p>The <em>larch-live</em> package provides the 'larch-rebuild' script, which
-regenerates the system archives 'system.sqf' and 'mods.sqf' from the state of the
-system at the last session save (i.e. from the files on the boot medium). All the
-changes which have been gathered in the overlay archive are merged into the new
-'system.sqf', thus (potentially) reducing the space requirements considerably. The
-directory for the storage of these new archives must be passed as argument to the
-script.
-</p>
-
-<p>No further handling of these new archives is provided with <em>larch</em>
-at present, for the simple reason that it is difficult to find a general solution to the
-question of what to do with them. They cannot just replace the archives on the
-boot medium because these are required to keep the <em>live</em> system running.
-So some temporary storage is needed for them, and it is quite conceivable that there
-is not enough space on the medium (as that might well be the reason for wanting
-to recompress the system in the first place).
-</p>
-
-<p>Thus some details of how to implement this rebuild feature are currently left to
-the creativity of the user. I would, however suggest that the medium file 'larch/boot-init'
-(see <a href="larch_sessionsave.html#boot-init">boot-init</a>) might be a useful place
-to perform the replacement of the archives. You would just have to write a script
-using 'larch-rebuild' to save the new archives somewhere, and write this 'boot-init'
-script to replace the old ones with the new ones, remembering to also delete any
-sqf files ending in '_' and '~' and the 'overlay.tar.lzo' archive.
