Description Christian Boltz 2006-01-22 22:08:11 UTC 
At the end of installation stage 1 (before the first very reboot), I found that /mnt/var contains some files and directories:

# cd /mnt/var && find -ls
211255    4 drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         4096 Jan 22 17:12 .
211962    4 drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root         4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib
211963    4 drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib/rpm
211964    8 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        12288 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib/rpm/Providename
211965    8 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        12288 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib/rpm/Name
211966    8 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        12288 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib/rpm/Basenames
211967    8 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        12288 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib/rpm/Packages
211968    4 drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root         4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./adm
211969    4 drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./adm/YaST
211970    4 drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./adm/YaST/SelDB
211971    4 drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./adm/YaST/ProdDB

I did not discover any problems in the installed system because of this, but having these files in the ramdisk (after umounting the / partiton of the installed system) looks strange.

This did not happen again when updating to beta6, so I guess this is fixed.
