|
---|
39 | Mindi Linux creates a set of boot/root floppy disk images that will
|
---|
40 | let you perform basic system maintenance on your Linux distro. The
|
---|
41 | principal virtues of Mindi's boot disks are the fact that they
|
---|
42 | contain your kernel, modules, tools and libraries. You can ask for
|
---|
43 | additional binaries (or other files) to be included on the kit. The
|
---|
44 | libraries will be added for you.</P>
|
---|
45 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
---|
46 | Whichever modules were loaded at backup-time, they are reloaded at
|
---|
47 | boot-time. So, in theory, you will boot into almost the same
|
---|
48 | environment as you were in when you backed up. If you want to add
|
---|
49 | files to your Mindi boot disks, edit '<INSTALLPATH OF MINDI>/mindi/deplist.txt'
|
---|
50 | and add the files to that list. The added files and dependencies,
|
---|
51 | will be spread across the data disks at run-time.</P>
|
---|
52 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
---|
53 | Mindi makes sure that Mondo has all the tools it needs at boot-time.
|
---|
54 | Mondo uses fdisk, mkfs, cat, less, more, afio, gzip, bzip2, your
|
---|
55 | keyboard configuration, your glibc libraries, your <I>other</I>
|
---|
56 | libraries, your kernel, your modules, ... a lot! Mindi takes care of
|
---|
57 | all that, so that Mondo can get on with the job of backing up or
|
---|
58 | restoring your data.</P>
|
---|
59 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
---|
60 | Mindi is also handy for making boot CDs/disks which stand on their
|
---|
61 | own. You do not need Mondo. Indeed, if you like, you could use
|
---|
62 | another backup/restore program with Mindi. Just add it to Mindi's
|
---|
63 | dependency list (type 'locate deplist.txt' to find it). Mindi will
|
---|
64 | include your software on its boot CD/disks the next time you run mindi.</P>
