Here's an idea, since it's a minimal firewall, that I'm currently using, and scp works. dd over ssh everything onto a 8G Compact Flash card that is plugged into another system and then install the CF card into an ide-to-cf socket reboot and then emerge-sync? think this will work? The partions are simple on the existing firewall: /dev/hda3 18G 2.1G 16G 12% / udev 125M 2.6M 123M 3% /dev shm 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda1 393M 46M 347M 12% /boot Next format the CF card similar to the above scheme. <not sure exactly how to run dd over ssh any (syntax) ideas? > Then install CF disk into similar arch machine (amd k6)and boot it up. Since I have quite a few of these machine and several friends running on similar firewalls, it's time I start using CF drvies and develop a procedure to replicate the firewalls, without 3 days of install, configuring and compiling. Do you think this will work? Did I miss any steps? I do not want to reboot until I get an second firewall working..... James -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
