<H2><A NAME="ss1.1">1.1 Why Build Boot Disks?</A></H2>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Linux boot disks are useful in a number of situations, such as:
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<LI>Testing a new kernel.</LI>
|
||||
<LI>Recovering from disk or system failure. Such a failure could be
|
||||
anything from a lost boot sector to a disk head crash.</LI>
|
||||
</UL>
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>There are several ways of producing boot disks:
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<LI>Use one from a distribution such as Slackware. This will at
|
||||
least allow you to boot.</LI>
|
||||
<LI>Use a rescue package to set up disks designed to be used
|
||||
as rescue disks.</LI>
|
||||
<LI>Learn what is required for each of the various types of disk
|
||||
to operate, then build your own.</LI>
|
||||
</UL>
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>I originally chose the last option - learn how it works so that you
|
||||
can do it yourself. That way, if something breaks, you can work out
|
||||
what to do to fix it. Plus you learn a lot about how Linux works along
|
||||
the way. Once I understood how it all worked, then I changed to using
|
||||
the Bootkit rescue package to maintain my boot disks.</P>
|
||||
<P>Experienced Linux users may find little of use in this
|
||||
document. However users new to Linux system administration who
|
||||
wish to protect against root disk loss and other mishaps may find
|
||||
it useful.</P>
|
||||

|
||||
