gBootRoot is a Gtk+/Perl program useful for both beginners and advanced |
|
|
|
GNU/Linux users. It makes the construction/development of emergency and |
|
|
|
mini distributions simple. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A GNU/Linux user can easily create an emergency Boot/Root set. There |
|
|
|
are a multitude of pre-existing compressed filesystems readily available. |
|
|
|
Please check the gBootRoot FAQ at the gBootRoot site listed above. |
|
|
|
** If you are a developer please send me links to Kernel/Filesystems which |
|
|
|
I can share with users of gBootRoot. |

perfecting the filesystem, and then he can use gBootRoot to quickly create a |

"Opt. Device" Add devices to the boot disk which are necessary for the |

kernel to function properly. Put a space between each device. For instance, |

/dev/fb0 for frame buffer devices. |
