Redhat Rescue/Recovery Disk Images

[R. David Whitlock]

Doesn't Redhat come with such a thing already on it?

"man mkbootdisk"

Something I picked up somewhere was to make my kernel, then "rdev
/dev/hdxx" it for the root drive, and then type "dd
if=linux-kernel-filename of=/dev/fd0" to write the kernel to disc.  (2
megs raw on a "1.44 floppy" [DOS size] + dd or rawrite = 4MB ramdisc)

you can even have one floppy mount as root and another as /usr.  It's also
not a bad idea to have a second linux system on your machine with only yhe
absolute minimums to get your system back up and running (ie, no games or
X) in about 50-100MB.  I also put gcc on it if I ever need to compile
another kernel quickly...

cheers!
