Hello All:
I'm back again, after a week on a tropical island, confronted once again
with my 8 MB RAM--not 4MB as I had mistakenly stated before--and 123 MB HDD
notebook formatted as /dev/hda5 extended Linux and /dev/hda6 Linux swap.
I got the first bootable disk loaded and operational without complaint from
Mulinux. My question is exactly that Ken Caldwell rose in a message last
week and cannot be better said, "Michele, could you explain how to clone an
ext2 system using only the first disk? Lilo is on the SVR addon. I can
think of several possible solutions but you probably have already determined
the best method."
I can get so far as to clone my machine with the following command
clone install=ext2 boot=/dev/hda5 root=/dev/hda5 loader=none
But that gets me nowhere: if I reboot I still need my floppy bootdisk. Since
lilo is not available on my bootdisk, I can't change the loader option to
"loader=lilo".
Thank you all for all your help.
