Something like yard
Is there a debian package available similar to yard?
I have just uploaded Yard version 1.14 to Sunsite. Yard is a suite of Perl
scripts for creating rescue disks (also called bootdisks). A rescue disk
is a self-contained Linux kernel and filesystem on a floppy, usually used
when you can't (or don't want to) boot off your hard disk. A rescue disk
usually contains utilities for diagnosing and manipulating hard disks and
filesystems.
New with 1.14:
Bug fixes
Bootdisk_Contents now incorporates material on using yard with Redhat 5.0
Various code improvements -- all scripts under 'use strict' now
Documentation updated
Discarded convert_config script

Title: Yard - tool for creating custom rescue disks
Version: 1.14
Entered-date: Sat May 16 20:55:37 GMT 1998
Description: Yard is a suite of Perl scripts for creating custom boot/rescue
disks. Using a compressed filesystem, it can put a standard kernel
image plus about 2.4 meg of utilities on a single floppy. Yard is
also useful for creating self-contained Linux-on-a-floppy systems.
You specify a basic set of files and utilities for inclusion and
Yard handles many of the details. Features:
- File specs allow absolute and relative filenames, symbolic links,
file replacements and full shell-style globbing.
- Automatically determines necessary libraries and loaders.
- Allows stripping of binaries and libraries during copying.
- Automatically regenerates ld.so.cache
- Checks for broken symlinks
- Checks /etc/{fstab,inittab,termcap,pam.conf} for common errors and
inconsistencies.
- Checks user directories and files mentioned in /etc/passwd
- Checks command files (eg, rc.local and .login) and scripts for
missing binaries and command interpreters.
- Automatically performs filesystem compression and copying.
- Can be used with or without LILO.
- Can make single or double disk sets.
- Extensive checking of user choices and execution errors.
Requires: Perl 5, Linux kernel 2.0 or later
Keywords: rescue, ramdisk, bootdisk, recovery
