bootcd(1)
NAME
bootcdflopcp - copy changes made after booting from bootcd to floppy
SYNOPSIS
bootcdflopcp [-v] [-d <device>]
DESCRIPTION
bootcdflopcp will copy changes made in ram to the floppy disk. bootcdflopcp will be available as soon as your system is running from cd.
The floppy has to have a filesystem already. (See mke2fs or mformat).
If you have to boot from floppy, because your cd-drive or bios does not
support to boot from cd a msdos filesystem is used to run syslinux.
When bootcdflopcp is called it searches for differences between RAM and
CD. For each different file, it checks if it is listed in the files
ignore, remove or change on floppy. If it is listed in change it will
be saved to change.tgz on floppy. If it is listed in remove the file
will be removed from ram next boot time. If it is listed in ignore it
will be ignored. If it is not listed at all you will be interactively
asked what to do.
OPTIONS
-v The option "-v" (verbose) adds messages on running.
- -d <device>
- Use another device instead of "/dev/fd0" to save changes.
FILES
