person will always want, and needless to say C<glibc>, since I always
compile C<bash> with curses so C<ncurses> as well, and C<openssl> since
that's what C<openssh> is built upon. So the complete list is
C<base glibc ncurses bash coreutils openssl openssh>. Now I'm going to try and see
how it works out.

Well, apparently C<openssh> needs C<zlib> as well, that's the only thing I
forgot, after C<patch zlib> I successfully entered this sanctuary with the
root directory bind mounted somewhere under it and launched C<sshd> on a
different port, confirmed that I could login through it. Then I did the
actual swap, moved everything under root to a backup directory, well,
except the usually mounted C</proc /sys /dev>, since it's meaningless to
C<umount> them and then C<mount> later, after that I moved all the directories
of the already prepared RSLinux into root, then I entered this fresh root,
played around a little bit, launched C<sshd> and ended the session with
the C<sshd> of the sanctuary.

Finally, I did a login through the C<sshd> of RSLinux I just launched, cleaned
up all the applications of the old system and sanctuary that're still running,
and mountpoints related to them. After that I did a C<rm -rf> on the backup
directory and the sanctuary to celebrate, the installation is done!

So yeah, the previously mentioned eight packages are guaranteed to do a
successful live replacing installation, and I'm sure you can reduce the
number even more if you want. It surely is an exicting, adventurous, and
fruitful journey for me, and it's not that hard, so don't hesitate to give
it a try.
