I've been trying to do a 'proper' boot disk WITH a 2.2 kernel on it.
I failed miserably! It won't happen! Not on one disk anyway, the
kernel is WAY to big...
I see two options:
1, One boot disk and one root disk.
Downside: One more disk to make sure you don't loose.
Advantage: More space for drivers, more space for the install disk,
which means we can support more types of installations,
like SMB, NCP, root-RAID (top on my personal list), etc,
etc. Only our imagination is the limit...
2, Many different rescue disks.
Rescue w/ SCSI, w/o IDE
Rescue w/ IDE, w/o SCSI
Rescue w/ IDE & non-IDE CDROM's
(etc, etc)
Downside: Speaks for it self, I think :)
Advantage: Only one disk to keep track of.
Point 1 is quite easy to implement, I'm trying to do this locally at the
moment. We really need to come to a desition, before we bury our self
to deep in the 'one size fits all' pit...
I for one like the first one best...
