Hi, Shortly: how to boot GNU/Linux system from the running GNU/Linux? Is there program for this? Long explanation: I have one server which is located quite far from my current location. Each and every time I make something dangerous with the system over the ssh, I run into the risk to lost my system. If something will go wrong I will not be able to ssh to my server. I thought about the configuration which can help me to make kernel/system upgrades and other dangerous things safely, even with unstable branch. One possible solution is having separate partition which will run very small Debian system with limited amount of packages. The boot process will first boot this small Debian system (from CD, flash or HD) and start ssh daemon. So, I will be able to login and fix problems in main system. After fixing my system, I will need to boot the main system. The problem is that I have no idea how to do this. -- Best regards, Sergey Spiridonov
