Jason Leschnik 40bee3b371 fix minor typos in Linux-Complete-Backup-and-Recovery-HOWTO.sgml 2016-10-24 20:54:16 +11:00
Martin A. Brown d51e1970c4 Store the cooked outputs of Charles Curley's scripts
In his document build system, each script is cooked (wrapped in <![ CDATA []]>
during build process--this is elegant, but we are not calling his build
Makefile, so we need to store the cooked scripts in the source tree.

ccurley 611e67b446 Much editing for clearer language. FHS compliance changes. Added a
discussion of the libata problem.
2007-07-08 18:05:45 +00:00
ccurley 6f7475ebaa Bug fixes. 2007-07-08 18:01:05 +00:00
ccurley 729c82b602 Changes for FHS compliance. Removed commented out references to ZIP
drives. Added a line to deal with the fact that libata (in newer
kernels) maps IDE drives to SCSI device names, but not all rescue
distributions use libata. So we have to change the device names from
SCSI to IDE, e.g. /dev/sda to /dev/hda. Changed the address for the
FSF in the license.

ccurley 60ec1d5af4 FHS compliance, and new directory structure for the archive. Changed

2005-10-29 16:54:00 +00:00
ccurley 25f97d7a35 We now use a relative path, so you can load from different places depending on the first stage system you are using. Also added some FC4 tricks, and some changes to better reproduce the permissions and ownerships. 2005-10-29 16:48:42 +00:00
ccurley bb510f51d1 Removed two references to tomsrtbt. 2005-10-29 16:45:39 +00:00
ccurley e7e42515d7 We now use sfdisk to save partition data, so that on restore make.dev.xxx can use it. We now provide both fdisk & sfdisk with the geometry. Also, broke some lines up so that they'll fit into printed pages. 2005-10-29 16:40:23 +00:00

ccurley ac729d484a We now set the types of partitions last. This seems to help Knoppix' fdisk. 2005-10-29 16:19:36 +00:00

2003-02-12 15:58:40 +00:00
ccurley e07b521399 There seem to be some bugs in how I build the cooked scripts. I'm not
sure I've gotten them out completely.
2003-02-12 15:56:37 +00:00
ccurley 4521b041f8 A few minor changes: We age the output from rpm -VA. We create initrd
