I'm about to start tinkering with Grub (tired of doing the 'root' and 'kernel' command manually in "command mode" in an old "grub-installment" done by some Fedora-thingy in the past) and would like a backup, since I may (i.e. will) mess things up. (*)
Sec. 8.4 of the SVN has a nice snippet for making a bootable floppy with grub on it. Now, the thing is that I don't have a floppy drive, but I do have a dvd-writer-combo-solution-can-do-everything-unit. Is there some easy way to do the same for a dvd? I have the necessary tools, I think, like mkisofs and growisofs. Most of what I can find on the net seems very focused on making a fully bootable "system" on the dvd, though... I presume that I cannot just substitute 'hda' for 'fd0' in the dd-commands, my drive being /dev/hda... If it's not to complicated, maybe a nice ting to add to the book also? J.O. (*) Another thing is that I don't exactly know where that "old grub" is stored, and I would like to delete some old partitions on older disks, combining them and "raiding" them to make for some slower storage space... Would be unfortunate if I accidentally removed the only way to boot the system.... -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
