Marc Haber mentioned this yesterday and I mistakenly sent him a private reply instead of replying to the list.
I'm also interested in creating a debian rescue floppy that either mounts /usr from a CD or preferably from a server via nfs. My goal is to be able to stick a floppy in an ailing W95/98/NT machine and mount its HD and copy the useful data to a network server before reformatting and reinstalling. I've had some problems lately with client machines that spontaneously (the users didn't make any changes, they _promise_) stopped seeing their network card and required a reinstall of Windows from scratch to fix the problem. So, my question, I guess, is what exactly do I need to do to make the inital rescue floppy? I presume I can just burn a copy of /usr to a CD, or export it via nfs, but I'm concerned about how I'm going to get all the necessary modules onto a floppy or two - naturally I have to cope with many different cards, and while I'm willing to have several different boot floppies, it'd be a lot more elegant to have just one. thanks, jpb -- Joe Block <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.
