/lib/modules/boot is in root.gz. In 1.8 you would back this up by backing up root.lrp; in 1.9 its more difficult (I've not gotten to simplifying it yet). The easiest way would be to do the following - either on a LEAF system or on a full system: 1. Copy root.gz to a disk... 2. Uncompress it: gunzip -c - < root.gz > root.ima 3. Mount the image: mount -o loop root.ima /mnt/loop 4. Work in the image: cd /mnt/loop ; ... ---this is where you make changes - relative to /mnt/loop... When done... 5. Unmount image: umount /mnt/loop 6. Compress image: gzip -c - < root.ima > root.gz 7. Copy back to boot disk I'll work on a script to do this. -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
