Uncomment the supporting > modules too! ok, truth be told, i didn't configure /etc/modules because i was thinking that /lib/modules being empty was a show stopper. i'll go back and start configuring modules right now. one question -- i grok the concept of the "filesystem going away" unless it's backed up to floppy. what i don't grok so much is the concept of partial backups. the readme file on the cd is confusing. what i'd LIKE to think is that anything i modify will be packaged up in its own etc.lrp file on the floppy and untarred over the /etc generated by the cd version of etc.lrp. however, the one thing i did manage to gather from the readme file is that it's not quite this simple. can you tell me a little bit about how partial backups work? (good stuff snipped) ok, i'll go back and follow the instructions. wish me luck! > 7.) Most of all give yourself patience.
