Re: Chrooted Debian install from base image (was Re: Instalation question: Toshiba TECRA 8000)



two things:
* the section that copies things to the floppies should call mkfs at
  the top, or at least do something other than "rm /mnt/floppy/*" which
  wont delete subdirs and can cause problems if someone picks a bad
  floppy to use.

* where you backup and reformat /usr:

$ tar czvf /home/usr.tar.gz /usr
$ tar tzvf /home/usr.tar.gz
$ mkreiserfs /home/usr.tar.gz	what!
$ cd /
$ tar xzvf /home/usr.tar.gz

that should be
$ tar czvf /home/usr.tar.gz /usr
$ tar tzvf /home/usr.tar.gz
$ umount /usr
$ mkreiserfs /usr
$ mount /usr
$ tar xzvf -C / /home/usr.tar.gz

might have to specify the actual device, not sure if mkreiserfs reads
fstab.
