Hi,
Against Tom's general recommendations, we've decided to implement tomsrtbt on a hard drive (strictly as a rescue system rather than as a working system) - it's an excellent tool that is very close to what we need and it seems like more work to hack down Gentoo or build a small LFS; I've been reading the mailing list archive to solve some of our customization needs. I do have a few questions though that aren't really answered:
1 -> Moving to hard disk: Tom has answered this a few times, but not recently (and I suspect there have been changes since then): Copy everything (except proc) from a booted floppy to disk, make changes to inittab, fstab, rc.S, rc.M, settings.s and rc.custom (what changes specifically to these files?). Anything else?
2 -> Boot loader: We're already using Grub (for some important reasons we cannot switch to Lilo) - any advice from anyone on how-to configure?
3 -> lib.so.6: Needed - just a matter of copying one to /lib?
4 -> Bash: Needed (using rbash, no equivalent in ash) - Just a matter of changing /etc/passwd to root /bin/bash?
Thanks a bunch,
Jim
