| 61 | For most users, that should be enough. :-) Mondoarchive will usually
|
|---|
| 62 | autodetect your hardware and configure it for you.</P>
|
|---|
| 63 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|

| 64 | If you are a power user (or you like to control every detail of how
|

| 65 | Mondo runs) then you may want to look at the command-line switches.
|

| 66 | For example:-</P>

| 77 | Cdrecord will tell me where my CD recorder lives, in SCSI terms,
|
|---|
| 78 | which in my case is '0,0,0'. The call to mondoarchive tells Mondo
|
|---|
| 79 | that I want to backup everything to a 4x CD-RW drive that has a CD-RW
|
|---|
| 80 | disk in it. (Use -Oc instead of -Ow if you are using CD-R.)</P>
|
|---|
| 81 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
|---|
| 82 | Please put the first CD-R(W) in the drive now. You will be prompted
|
|---|
| 83 | to insert CD #2 but you will not be prompted to insert the first
|
|---|
| 84 | disk. However, if you forget, do not worry: if Mondo fails to write
|
|---|
| 85 | the first (or any) disk, it will offer to retry, abort or fail.</P>
|
|---|
| 86 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
|---|
| 87 | I run Mondo at the highest compression available ('-9) and then go to
|
|---|
| 88 | work. I then walk home at lunch (I live right by my workplace),
|
|---|
| 89 | change CD, eat lunch, and go back to work. When I get home, it has
|
|---|
| 90 | all been done.</P>
|
|---|
| 91 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
|---|
| 92 | Your mileage may vary. Experiment. Find the speed/compression
|
|---|
| 93 | compromise that best suits your needs.</P>
|
|---|
| 94 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
|---|
| 95 | If you are using <B>cron</B> then please use -F to make sure that
|
|---|
| 96 | Mondo does not prompt you to create bootable floppy disks. <B>Cron</B>
|
|---|
| 97 | does not handle user interaction well because it pipes stdin and
|
|---|
| 98 | stdout specially. Please consult <B>cron</B>'s manual for more
|
|---|
| 99 | information. Jesse Keating has written a script for <B>cron</B>/Mondo
