Subject: Re: starting Sabotage project/booting off the hard drive
Fellow Saboteurs,
OK I finally got this on the hard drive! This message is just to close out
this thread. I had problems with both Paul's method(I just tried it once
and messed something up with the kernel copying, but moved on because I
didn't want the Debian default kernel regardless) and had to expand the
WIKI a little, but I reconfigured/built the kernel in the change root
environment and finally got the entire thing working without using a Debian
kernel.
I'm keeping notes and then writing a larger pdf doc explaining all this
that also will be using Sabotage as clay to understand what's going on in a
linux OS for my own peops here, and you folks can use whatever out of it in
your WIKIS/docs.
The only technical point to clean up for this thread is that the problem
with my cp -a was using the default vfat partitioning on the USB drive.
You can't copy files over 2Gs, and the ownership problem vanished when I
repartitioned/created an ext4 filesystem on it.
Paul, John, Josh and crew thanks for giving me meat to hack on to get this
figured out, and thanks in advance for the technical questions I'll need
help with as I get this configured and pumping,
Will
