When I tried Yggdrasil's stuff a couple of years back, that distribution has something called IFS ("Werner's Inherited File System", IIRC). This was used in a configuration where you chose to leave most of the stuff on de CDROM, and your filesystem got mounted over that. You could change files, and those files would be copied to and updated on your filesystem.
I recall that it worked quite well. Anyone know why it didn't get into the mainstream kernel?
