Q&A / how to boot generic from a script run while booted on aufs

« on: December 20, 2012, 06:10:12 AM »

is there a way to change something while am booted as in aufs  mode so that i can  boot in generic mode at the next reboot. i wanted all my students to run a script so they can make a change to the base system partition. i don't want them knowing  about the Esc then E option as it might lead to a lot of pranks using the system restore option.
