Here's a way to find out which package to backup: go to /var/lib/lrpkg grep <word> *.list In this case <word> would be 'sbin', so this is what I get on a testmachine (Bering) that I happen to have here, so what you get *might* differ: blinder: -root- # grep sbin *.list telnetd.list:usr/sbin/in.telnetd weblet.list:usr/sbin/sh-httpd weblet.list:usr/sbin/stat.sh what this tells us is that the only packages that *explicitly* back up anything with 'sbin' in the path are telnetd and weblet. Which means that, by extension, /sbin gets backed up by root.lrp The working principle is that if package foo.lrp mentions /foo in foo.list, and package foobar.lrp mentions /foo/bar in foobar.list, then the file /foo/bar will *not* get backed up by foo.lrp but foobar.lrp eventhough /foo/bin /foo/this/that and /foo/whateverelse *will* The purpose is to avoid the same file being backed up by different packages, with possible turmoil to follow... SO; given the above you'd prolly want to back up root.lrp which backs up / and hence everything not explicitly listed by any other package... At least that's my take on it.

Well if you want to hear it from a *real* techie, you don't want to hear it from me ;) I think maybe you got me wrong... what I meant wasn't that I shouldn't confuse you with that intel, what I meant was that *I* don't know enough about the boot process in LEAF to tell you... ;) _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
